Historically post Split final fixtures have been same time / day for top group and bottom ( and rightly so )

But given how tight 3rd place and top 6 from bottom 6 are I'm surprised that all games are not being played together ( I know TV is king and money is reason )
But purely for sporting integrity.

It may work for us this time but does not make it right

What kind of game will Hibs v Dundee be if we need 1 point for 3rd and they can avoid playoff with a draw

Not sure I follow? Hibs are guaranteed top 6 and Dundee are guaranteed bottom 6. There are another 5 games afterwards once the split happens as well?

What advantage do either team get from playing the Sunday instead of same time as others?

If this game impacted who finishes in the top/bottom six, then fair enough. It doesn't though.

They can't avoid / drop into the playoff with any result. There's still 5 games to go after that game.

:aok: Our match on reflection was a terrible example :greengrin of course neither's top 6 bottom 6 can change.

Principal though?
