The goalless draw at Dundee on Wednesday night in their game in hand left Philippe Clement바카라s side three points behind cinch Premiership leaders Celtic with five post-split fixtures remaining, which includes a trip to Parkhead.

The loss of a valuable two points which swings the title further towards Celtic came after their first ever defeat against Ross County on Sunday and a 3-3 draw against the Hoops at Ibrox, where they had to come from behind twice to salvage a point.

Now the Light Blues need to focus on Sunday바카라s Scottish Gas Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts at Hampden Park and Sterling, who signed from Chelsea last summer, was brutally honest about the current state of affairs at the Govan club who now have two wins in eight in all competition and he is looking for rapid change.

Asked about possibly owing a performance on Sunday to Clement, who put up a stout defence of his players after the Dundee disappointment, and the fans who booed the players off in angry frustration, utility player Sterling said: 바카라We owe ourselves a performance as well because we have been s*** the past three games.

바카라We need to re-set and do it for the fans as well because they have come home and away, backing us, singing for 90, 95, 100 minutes and we owe it to them.

바카라Obviously the results have been disappointing in the past two weeks and I know they have seen it before over the past years. Hopefully we can change that but we will see.

바카라We are fighting for a title and the way we are playing is as if we are not playing for anything, like the season is dead and it is a dead rubber game.

바카라Somehow it has got to switch. I don바카라t have the words to do it or know how to do it. It is a team thing, not just one person and not just the gaffer.

바카라We just have to have that belief that we can (come back). We had the togetherness, we had the belief. We still have the togetherness but I don바카라t know if the belief is there.

바카라 I think everyone has to switch their minds that we can have that belief that we can do this. It is not good enough on our part. We have a lot of work to do and we need to re-set.

바카라We need to get our heads in the game, switch our mentality because for now, it is not going in the right direction.

바카라There is still a lot of games to be played and there바카라s still things to fight for.

바카라Of course anything can happen. We have five games left, five cup finals and hopefully the fans can push us to get through them.

바카라The dressing room is down at the minute. But we dust this one off, get back to the training ground and review it, park it and focus on the semi-final.바카라
