    We are going to skoosh it. Said it for months. The rest of the league are rubbish.

    It's been ours to lose for quite a while now, but we've shown a degree of fragility and an inability to break down massed defences (that get away with all sorts of illegalities thanks to the Masons in the black/yellow/whatever) which is why many folks are still extremely nervous.

    We have 58 points with 7 games to play and 21 points to play for.

    Morton's present maximum possible is 72 points. Worst case (Morton winning all their games including the two against us) we need to win ALL our other matches.

    If we beat Morton on Wednesday evening we'll have 61, their maximum will be 69, so we'd then need to win just 3 more games to be safe from them.

    Falkirk can only make 66, so we'd need to win only 3 games to be sure of finishing ahead of them.

    United can make 68, which means we need 4 to be sure of finishing ahead of them.

    Wednesday evening's the absolute key - win our home game against Morton and we can really begin to relax and even celebrate. This is on the assumption that at least one of our main rivals go unbeaten from now until the end of the season.

    League title was always going to be ours this season, it's just a matter of when.

    Can't believe some folk still think that one of the distant chasing pack are going to win 7 on the bounce whilst we lose at least 3 out of the seven. It's just not going to happen.

    Focus is 100% on the semi final for me.

    Anything but official isn't official. I'll celebrate when we cannot be caught.

    Ever since the 2003 new year derby when we were 2 up and coasting it in extra time I always contain myself and believe its best to keep totally focused and think nothing's won until it's won. That's what Neil Lennon will have us do.

    Our nearest rivals have all to play each other between now and the end of the season. Ok, I've now been fortified with a few wee goldies but if we beat Morton on Wednesday then surely the title will be as good as won.

    You not invited round to the cup winning party tonight 😉

    It's as much to do with the rest of the league being rubbish than our performances. I said 8 points margin early in the season and I'll stick to that. It was always about getting up and we've one foot in the Premiership after today.

    And so will I. I've had to many disappointment in my life to assume anything.

    Just to be pedantic for pedantry' sake, it's not mathematics it's arithmetic. So, we should be saying, "I'm not having a celebratory wenk till it's arithmetically certain we can't be caught!" Oh, and,

    Houston with your discourteous rants against us ya fud!

    OK not mathematically but no chance of us getting caught. Even a draw would be enough.
    Today was much bigger than Wednesday's game imo. I said Flakirk were our biggest challengers last week and was delighted Morton beat them. Time to get the slippers on at last and enjoy the run in for once, I hope it's finally clinched at ER though.

    Absolutely. As I say, win on Wednesday and we can begin to relax and celebrate.

    Yesterday and Wednesday were and are the crunch games, and we've won the first leg, so to speak. Even I now expect us to be playing in the Premiership next season. Positively.
