NO excuses. We are heading into the business end of the fiercest title battle we've seen in years and both Rangers and Celtic look set to do so with big guns back on the frontline.
No disadvantages either. Sunday's call-off at Dens Park would have been disappointing for my old team and was a bad look on our game but don't tell me it damages Rangers' hopes of becoming champions.
This is the way it should be two strong teams going at it hammer and tongs to decide who is ultimately the best.
It's why I'm absolutely buzzing for the final couple of months of the season with some really influential players coming back for both teams at the perfect time.
My only fear? I've got to be honest. It's VAR.
Am I concerned a needless decision from the video assistants could have an impact on the title? One hundred per cent.
I'm worried some crazy decision could happen during one of the key games that will become the talking point.
And we don't want that. We absolutely don't want any excuses.
We want to be talking about what's happened on the pitch football wise creating chances, good moves, great goals, individual performances, mistakes and the tactics.
But I go into games now fearing that a dodgy red card or a crazy handball decision in the box is what could be the big talker at full time.
I just pray it's not what's on everyone's lips at the end of the title race. But the way VAR is going there's every chance it could be.
I saw Motherwell's statement about fans being turned off by the technology and calling for it to be binned.
