The Premiership returns this weekend following a brief pause for the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Already out of the competition, Rangers spent the free week on a warm-weather training camp in Spain.
Will it have the desired effect and drive Danny Rohl's men to a 56th league title? We'll get a better idea when they host Motherwell on Sunday from 15:00 BST.
Motherwell started the weekend in fourth, but the Steelmen are much closer to Hibs in fifth than Celtic in third. Jens Berthel Askou has done an incredible job at Fir Park and is many people's pick for the Premiership manager of the year.
Will they keep pushing all the way to the finish line? Well have already held the Gers to two 1-1 draws from three games this term.

Match winner - Rangers
I'm picking sides for the first of my Rangers vs Motherwell predictions, settling on a home win. The Glaswegians, like most clubs in the Scottish top-flight this season, have found Motherwell a tough nut to crack.
The rivals drew 1-1 on the opening day of the season, with Motherwell scoring late. Rangers landed a narrow 1-0 win when last hosting the Steelmen.
What's fascinating about the two games played at Fir Park this season is that Rangers scored early, but conceded late. At Ibrox, Thelo Aasgaard got the only goal of the game, scoring on 67 minutes for a 1-0 win.
Another tight match is expected, but I'm picking Rangers to learn from those four points dropped and hold their concentration all the way to the final whistle.
Rangers return from their break fully rested, fit, and ready to challenge for the title. They've won their last four, scoring 15 goals in that time. The locals have already registered ten goals in two games this month, beating Dundee Utd 4-2 and Falkirk 6-3.
Motherwell arrive without a win in their last five Premiership starts, losing four and drawing the spare. Back Rangers.
Tip: Rangers win @ 1/2 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Rangers use home advantage to defeat Motherwell, you'll beat the bookies and make a profit.
Result & BTTS - Rangers & Yes
Moving away from the 1-X-2, I target a bet at higher odds. Having studied the recent form of both clubs and the latest head-to-head stats available now on the Flashscore app, I'm confident.
Back Rangers to win and both teams to score. When following, you need the Gers to collect all three points, but the Steelmen to score at least one goal in defeat at Ibrox.
Returning to the H2H, a bet on both teams to score landed in two of the three meetings this season. It was also a smart move in seven of the previous eight.
That caught my attention. In those eight meetings, 2-1 was the final score on three occasions. We need both parts of the bet to land to secure a profit, meaning another 2-1 home win would suit us just fine.
Switching to the recent form of both clubs, a bet on Rangers to win and both teams to score landed last time. Rohl's side fought back from 2-0 down at the Falkirk Stadium to win 6-3.
They also thumped Dundee Utd 4-2 when last at Ibrox. Like their hosts, Motherwell have also played twice this month, losing 3-2 at home to Falkirk and 3-1 away to Hearts.
Tip: Rangers win and BTTS @ 15/8 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Rangers must win Sunday's match, but backers also need Motherwell to score at least one goal at Ibrox.
Score or assist - Raskin
My third and final bet is another for lovers of a fully researched prediction at generous odds with a decent chance of landing.
I'm advising a wager on Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin to either score or assist on Sunday. The Belgian international was almost sold back in the summer under Russell Martin. He'll now be a key player during the final games.
Why am I confident Raskin will have a big say against Motherwell? My research gives a few strong reasons. Nico scored when these clubs last crossed paths at Fir Park back in February, finding the net inside the opening six minutes.
The home fans would dearly love a repeat performance in this fascinating renewal. The midfielder's recent form is also a plus.
In terms of providing assists, Raskin delivered against Falkirk, St Mirren, Dundee, and Celtic. Still not convinced? Let's look at his goals so far this season.
The Rangers number 43 already has six goals this term. He struck against Hibs, Dundee, Aberdeen twice, Motherwell, and Falkirk. The talented 25-year-old has also played five times for Belgium.
Tip: Raskin to score or assist @ 6/4 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need Nico Raskin to either score or provide an assist for a teammate to hit the net on Sunday afternoon.
