I'd like Dundee to stay up, though that's not going to happen. I'd also prefer Livi to go down to be replaced by a team with a real pitch, but they're as good as safe.

Not sure I'm fussed either way about the Saint clubs. Always enjoy watching the playoffs though, high stakes matches.

Livingston are definitely safe after today, they're 13 points clear of St Johnstone with 3 games left.

Seeing Arbroath come up would be some story but if I'm being honest about it I don't think they would add much to the league. I also have little interest in going to Gayfield.

I'd probably say that I'd prefer Inverness to come up as I enjoy a trip up to the Highlands.

Dundee going down would probably be my preference out of them and St Johnstone.

I still have nightmares about Hibs v Hamilton Accies playoff.

I thought they were 8 points ahead

No, Aberdeen and St Mirren are 8 ahead, we're 10 ahead and Livingston are 13 ahead.

Would like to see St Johnstone get relegated. I think they would be too good for any of the current championship teams though.

Dundee for me.
Never ever forget when Albert kid got those goals in 1986.
The misery of those Jambos that day was great never to be forgotten.
I hate both the uglies but even the huns got a dull one tht day.
They celebrated Kidd scoring at ibrox thinking it was Walter.
The rest is history.

Bonnyrigg Rose through to the play-off final v Cowdenbeath. Would love to see them cone up and replace the Blue Brazil if only for the joy of working it up the sash singing Findlay

Dundee are pretty much down and St Johnstone will finish 2nd bottom. Although it would be funny to see Arbroath in the Premiership they'll bring nothing to the league and will likely finish bottom with the least amount of points ever. Of the teams who'll be in the play offs I've always liked an away trip to Partick. A day out in the weege without the bigotry. Lower down the leagues, would be fun to see Dunfermline v Falkirk in League 1 and hopefully the Rosey Posey displace Cowdenbeath in League 2.

Think St J will rest players as soon as there mathematically 2nd bottom & be better prepared for their play off game.
Would love to hear how the media would spin it to double cup winners to relegation in consecutive seasons though.

Would be risky that ..their opponents will be a team that have come through a set of games winning matches in the play offs - it’s hard sometimes to turn up after a couple of weeks off not playing games

Yep, that’s what gave us the edge against the currants in 2016.

I don’t think they’d played a competitive game for about 3 weeks.

Would love to see St Johnstone go down. Season after winning the double and nobody can be bothered going to watch them. Grim style of football. Offer nothing to the league. Not really bothered who comes up but preferably not Inverness.

Yep, season after a double and about 2000 fans can be bothered to turn up for a home game, they add nothing to the league. My preference would be Inverness to come up as I like the away trip up there.

I like the idea of Arbroath coming up - I agree with a poster earlier who said that they will bring nothing to the league but I’m more looking at it as recognising their achievements this season and the fact it’s a manager having had time to build a team.

I’d like Airdrie to go up. I work with a huge Airdrie fan who goes home and away to support his team, I’d like it personally for him.

I know the Forfar groundsman so I would be happy for him if they are successful.

I want Cowdenbeath to stay up. One of my earliest football memories was a win at Easter Road against them in the League Cup and I genuinely like an away day Scottish/League Cup tie there.

Yepp, they have the season of their lives and can’t get more than a few thousand in to watch them. I stand by what I’ve said previously that if there was ever an anomaly of a season it was during the pandemic.

Would love to see Airdrie go up, purely for the fact Nid has done a remarkable job there this season, simply undone by big spending Cove. I think he has them 20 games unbeaten or something now.

Arbroath is the romantic option but I'm not sure they bring much to the league. I think you would be looking at a side all but relegated by Christmas.

Partick Thistle for me, if they can get that pitch sorted. Decent club and an away day to Glasgow without the baggage that comes with the other 2.

Torn about Bonnyrigg coming up against Cowdenbeath. It's been refreshing to see teams like East Stirling and potentialy Cowdenbeath, who have coasted along for years with no threat to their status, finally be replaced by better teams. I just don't like Bonnyrigg much though, have watched them a few times and they are a hard side to take to.

They aren’t quite guaranteed 2nd bottom yet. 8 points behind Aberdeen and St Mirren with 3 games left.

Would love Aberdeen to get dragged in to it

Bonnyrigg aren’t terribly easy on the eye but they are very good at what they do. Brilliant spirit and the community is really behind them. There’ll be well over a couple of thousand there next week and, if they get promoted, they’ll likely have the biggest crowds in League Two next season.

Will be going to support them next week rather than using my season ticket at Easter Road. They deserve the support more at this point in time and I think it’s superb what they’ve done, it’s not been the Kelty way of spending ridiculous amounts of cash.

A dead rubber, end of season game or supporting my local team who are trying to get in to the league for the first time in their history. It’s a no brainer this week. Not that I really need to justify it, but I’m not going to sit at a meaningless game after what I witnessed at Livingston on Saturday when I think there is a better way to spend my time.

They won’t, not for me anyway. My season ticket will be at Easter Road next season and not New Dundas Park.

I just have no interest in sitting at these meaningless games between now and the end of the season.

Of course it’s your choice…tbh I had misread your post, thought you were saying you would go and see them next season rather than us ….as you say though, your choice…I’m only a Hibee.

Be pretty common amongst our support for folk to go and watch their local team as well as Hibs I’d imagine, be it Bonnyrigg, Tranent, Nitten or whoever.

Might be a tad complicated if our current slide continues and we’re in the same league in a couple of years right enough.

Same for me.

I rarely miss a Hibs game, home or away, but for the rest of the season I'll be watching my English side, Chorley, in the promotion play offs in the National League North.

I found it hard enough to get enthused about watching Hibs this season when there was something to play for.

I hope Dunfermline stay up. A club their size should be in the Premiership never mind the Championship. Would far rather they were in the top league than the likes of Ross County & Livi.

I get that…going to see your local “wee” team…that’s decent - football is a community thing right enough. And tbh, the lack of connection with the team could perhaps drive people to focus more on those teams. When they are in the same leagues as Hibs, it does get a bit more complex as you say…

When Hibs played Bonnyrigg in the Scottish Cup a few years ago there was no mixed feelings for me. I’ve followed Hibs home and away for the majority of my life so they come first and I wanted us to win.

I generally go up and watch Bonnyrigg when Hibs don’t have a game. If Hibs had a game with anything on it this weekend, or it was at all entertaining to watch, I’d be at Easter Road but I decided after Livingston I’d had enough Saturdays ruined this season.

I know another 8 folk who won’t be using their season ticket this Saturday and doing the same as me with their time.

I watched county as my wee team in the late eighties early nineties always been a hibby, never been an issue but it was a bit surreal watching the cup game at ER in 09 and the subsequent matches since with county in the premier league ,
