Ukraine result won't count for 3rd place as Luxembourg are bottom of the group

In the past thematches against the minnows of the group don't count, as one group doesn't haveminnows--so Greece losing twice to Faeroes wouldn't hurt them ift they finish 3rd---though that now seems a tad far fetched. Their ranking will plummet now, so we'll get them in our WC group as the minnows, as they start their resurgence(See Wales 3/4 yeas back

Its because on group has 5 so to find out who is the best third placed team you have to convert all the other group results into 5 team groups

A mate over in Dublin posted Scotland fans singing "You wish you were too, you wish you were toooo. Celtic are Scottish, you wish you were too" to Irish fans going to the game in Celtc tops 😃

I really hope and do believe, someday, they will.

Both club and country are going in the right direction but are still far from where they should be for my liking, so stay tuned for more " negativity" whenever either fail to impress. A Scottish Cup for the Cabbage or World Cup qualification for Scotland might just change my outlook.

Agree with this to be honest.Part of the reason we don't seem to do it when it matters is too many of our fans accept mediocrity and then blast those for being 'negative' when they have every right to complain/give their opinion. If we set higher standards we will achieve more. Last season was a failure pure and simple. We finished way behind Hearts, bottled it again in the SC which was our best opportunity in years to win it. I don't think its about people being negative for the sake of it. What some are saying is we shouldn't accept mediocre seasons and performances, we are a big club and we should aim higher.

In saying this I do believe we are going in the right direction (Hibs and Scotland) but until we have actually achieved something significant, I don't think we should be in celebration mode. Once Hibs win the league next season and Scotland qualify, praise will be due. But until then the levels of praise some have been giving is not deserved IMO.

Play offs tend to be seeded so if our ranking is high enough we may not be able to play them.

Just back and that must go down as one of the best trips ever. Scots and Irish mingling before, during and after the game and not a hint of any bother all weekend. Fair play to the Irish, together with the Scots they made it an occasion to remember. Both nations know how to party that's for sure
