Post split -top 6 for 3rd and 4th

[JohnMcM]

The run into the split for top six is interesting. The fights for the four places behind the 'cheeks' are going to produce some very tense games. The fight for 3rd and 4th will be hectic. Look at the reamaining league matches for the team's currently in contention.

Think you've missed Hawrts at home for Dons but very interesting. I know there remains lots of opposition to the split but there's going to be some really competitive fixtures coming up.

[Billy Whizz]

Think you’ve missed a Dons game. Last post split is v Hearts
All played 27 except Motherwell and St Johnstone
Dons 41 Pts
Motherwell 41pts (game in hand)
Livingston 37pts
Hibernian 36pts
Kilmarnock 32pts
St Johnstone 31pts (game in hand)

I think we’ll need around 8/9 points to at least secure top 6. Shows you just how massive yesterday’s win was for Hibs

No one really in top form apart from Celtic above Hibs. Could get interesting indeed if we can hold our run.

You've got Livi and Aberdeen both winning the same fixture!

But apart from that I really don't see everyone being that consistent. Saints picked up a few points in recent weeks and Hamilton always seem to sneak a couple of vital wins this time of the season. Personally see Well dropping a couple of points in the next couple of games whether that be Accies or Aberdeen I'm not sure! Interesting for sure, but if we can remain consistent and beat the teams we should beat we should be within touching distance of at least 4th by the time the split comes around.

The dons looked to have the toughest fixture list. As long as we can stay in touch with the dons and well going into the split we have have them both at home after the split if we make the top six.

I suspect that we will have another trip to Aberdeen after the split depending on who makes the top six.

Last season we had 3 home games against them so they should have sorted out this.

This looks about right except for Motherwell - I think they will begin to falter and would be surprised if they take 10+ points from those games.

Should be an exciting set of fixtures post split with a few clubs vying for Europe.

I agree, Motherwell sold one of their best players during the window and appear to be struggling for form since.

That could be a possibility, but depending who else makes Top 6 Livvi or Killie with Hibs
Think we’re only due 2 at home post split, which if it’s Livvi instead of Killie, based on who we’ve played home or away so far
Celtic Away
Rangers Home
Aberdeen Home
Motherwell Home
Livvi Away

It it’s Killie instead of Livvi
Celtic Away
Rangers Home
Aberdeen Home
Motherwell Home
Killie Home

I’ll leave it to the SPFL to sort that out

[cam75]

I’m thinking after we beat Aberdeen we will be 1point behind and after the next game we will be 2 in front 🤞

[Billy Whizz]

Seemingly if Top 6 stays as it is, Celtic would be due 5 home games, based on who they’ve played home and away pre split

Aberdeen probably have the toughest run in going into the split. Hopefully we can close the gap even further in that time. Avoiding defeat there will be important.

[H18 SFR]

The wife just messaged me asking what the two Thursdays in June are for those possible games abroad so she can put holiday sheets in.

We're on our way lads, pity she is coming but we are on our way nonetheless.

Edit-realise that it is July, she can go the week before.

[murray26]

First and foremost 3 points and Saturday is a absolute must if we’re going to mount any kind of a challenge.

Bet you they won’t send them to Ibrox 3 times

[Unseen work]

The run in for the top 6 is massive, a couple of games could change the outlook massively.

A good or poor run could see us 3/4th or 7/8th.

Hopefully with the players we have now and new formation we really pick up results. Add to that hopefully Mallan returns soon and gives us another good option Behind the striker, his goals and assists could play a massive part.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Bet you they won’t send them to Ibrox 3 times

Aye of course but whatever way the SPFL deal with it, they will have major issues and complaints from many quarters, should be interesting to watch. 😃

[Keith_M]

IMO, finishing 5th or 6th wouldn't be a disaster, given where we were when Hecky left, but qualifying for Europe would be great.

Let's just keep aiming to overtake the team above us and see where it gets us.

[Not In The Know]

I see us going into the split in the top 6, 5 points of 4th place. So it will be all to play for and hope if we don’t win the cup the bigots do.

[DH1875]

Why would they? Their due 5 home games.

[Wilson]

Aberdeen probably have the toughest run in going into the split. Hopefully we can close the gap even further in that time. Avoiding defeat there will be important.

It's marginal I think. Livi away will be tough but then they don't play either of the Old Firm. Still, if we can win our own games it could be close.

[hibsboy07]

Does that mean rangers should have 5 away games ??

[DTS]

I’ve taken us to finish 3rd 25/1 with bet365 mainly because the value in it. But I also have some reasoning, if we’re within striking distance going into the split for me we’re faves as we have dons and Motherwell at home both who have been comfortably tucked away already this season. Neither would have the “benefit” of a home game against either OF that we wouldn’t both due rangers home and Celtic away so would expect all 3 to take a max of 1/6 from they two

[scoopyboy]

Why would they? Their due 5 home games.

They're not due 5 home games, that would mean they played a few more games at home than away.

Probably 21 at home and 17 away, that won't be allowed to happen.

[DH1875]

We’ve got enough of a cushion that it’ll be 6th at worst for us now IMO, even if we do drop some points between now and the split, which we will.

In terms of challenging for Europe the next two are must win.

Aberdeen and Motherwell play each other prior to the split as well so something obviously needs to give that weekend and we need to take advantage.

[DH1875]

I think IF Celtic are due the 5 home games and that if they are gonna have to play 2 teams away for a third time, we will be one of them. They'll get huns, Aberdeen and Motherwell at home. Us and livi away, which should actually be a massive help to us. Especially if say we got them last game of season and they've already won the league.

Top 6, with hearts bottom 6 is the main thing.

For whatever reason we always end up playing Celtic in the split when the titles still up for grabs.

Playing them after they have won it is also a Huge advantage.

[Sheep_Nae_Mair]

The run into the split for top six is interesting. The fights for the four places behind the 'cheeks' are going to produce some very tense games. The fight for 3rd and 4th will be hectic. Look at the reamaining league matches for the team's currently in contention.

Looks like a bookie-fest to me. Wonder what odds for us 3rd or 4th?

Saints are only 1 point behind Killie with a game in hand.

If you use a simple formula - home game against team currently below - 3 pts, ditto, v. currently above - 1 pt. Away game against team currently below - 1 pt, ditto currently above - 0 pts, you get:-

Us 36 + 9 = 45
Livi 37 + 8 = 45
Well 41 + 9 = 50
Dons 41 + 12 = 53
Killie 32 + 9 = 41
Saints 31 + 7 = 38

Of course there's no way it'll work out like that but it's a rough guide taking into account the strength of opposition and whether games are home or away.

Bet you they won’t send them to Ibrox 3 times

Title race over before split. Send them to Ibrox.

Why would they? Their due 5 home games.

They will not get 5 games. 3 at most

I know.


I think IF Celtic are due the 5 home games and that if they are gonna have to play 2 teams away for a third time, we will be one of them. They'll get huns, Aberdeen and Motherwell at home. Us and livi away, which should actually be a massive help to us. Especially if say we got them last game of season and they've already won the league.
