2nd) Rangers 62 +29
3rd) Aberdeen 62 +14
4th) Hibs 59 +14
Now, don't get me wrong, I'd love to overhaul Rangers, and I'm not ruling it out, but looking at that table, and the fact that Aberdeen routinely choke against both halves of the Old Firm and are now demoralised from today's abject showing, surely they're the team for us to go after?
Even if we only drew at Pittodrie (horrendous recent record up there), we'd need just three more points than they get from their last five, and third - and Europe - is ours, given the similar goal difference. To finish ahead of Rangers, we'll almost certainly need to better their total by four points, I can't see that happening unless the wheels fall off.
(EDIT: Ignore the awful thumbnail attempt.)

Aberdeen - the team to target for third?

Big game bottlers again, go into the game at Pittodrie with the right mindset and we've every chance.

Aberdeen look to have hit poor form at the wrong time. Getting pumped off hearts and Motherwell 2-0 and 3-0 are dreadful results against poor teams. I expect us to win at the PBS

Aberdeen are faltering at the wrong time so they are the ones who will be overhauled.
Bettering them by one win will do it as it’s neck and neck as far as GD is concerned.
We’ll give it to them I reckon but at the same time I hope they overtake Rangers.

Was hoping they'd beat Motherwell so 4th would be guaranteed a Euro place but hopefully now Motherwell's comfortable win over them is a huge dent in their confidence and they capitulate in the league.

Aberdeen have their two ‘easiest’ games first. If they struggle in those two games they could easily end up winning no games.

I’d have been content with top six this season and we’ve done very well so far to have secured a place but also be in there fighting for Europe. This is very much a rare occurrence for Hibs in the modern era. Aberdeen are a strong side who shouldn’t be underestimated.

Score as many points as we can, don't bother with what the teams around us are doing and we'll be just fine.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

I think that objectively, we have the hardest fixtures out of everyone.
Aberdeen and Kilmarnock will get to play Celtic when they have the league wrapped up and can afford to rest players for the SC final. We won’t.
Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Rangers will all face a Hearts side with nothing left to play for, except for trying to beat us.
It’s not going to be easy. I’m confident, but part of me would be tempted to settle for 4th as it stands.

NL would have watched both they games over the week in delight, both look like they are there for the taking!
Aberdeen will choke and Rangers are just a poor team. If we keep our form going we will win 3 games and draw 1 at least with 1 loss.

Heading up to Aberdeen for the first time in almost 30 years. Hope we can take a big support up .

They are a different side with McLean in it.
Unavailable on Saturday, I take it he will be back for our visit.
