Och well. Enjoyed the ride. There's always next year, as my auld dad used to say!

Three Saturday 3pm kickoffs is nice.
The alternative to playing Saints away 3 times is us playing more home games than away games. We have played 17 at home and 16 away up to now. Saints I suspect have played 17 away already. We’ve not lost out but if we played them at ER we would have had an advantage over everyone else who had an equal split.
Aberdeen and Dundee utd first 2 games, win them and we have 3rd place
Why are Hah Hah Hearts fixtures not listed here? I don't understand.
Looking at a realistic but by no means optimistic turn of events, the pressure on all teams here might mean a relatively small amount of points claim third.
Dundee United lose against Celtic
Hibs take two points from the first two games and lose at Parkhead.
St Mirren aren't there to simply lose five games, so you'd imagine they will pick up some amount of points against Hibs, Aberdeen or Dundee United. As long as we're not the only club to lose three points to them, a draw can be acceptable.
The big benefit here would be a draw in the Dundee United-Aberdeen final round - I'd imagine if Hibs continue to be hard to beat (not even necessarily winning) then three points against Rangers would likely be enough.
Or we just rattle everyone in sight. Winning in Aberdeen could well be enough in itself.
Would love to see us end the season with a home win v Rangers. It's been too long.
Exciting that our 2nd place finish will come down to the final day of the season
I know that’s highly unlikely , but can you imagine IF rangers loose the first 4 games , we win 3 and draw with Celtic …………..
Highly unlikely , but mathematically possible !

So we end up with 18 home games and 20 away games?
Indeed
I would go so far as to say win at Pittodrie and it's done.
Aberdeen would be effectively 7 points off us (factoring in GD) you suspect Utd would be the same (after losing to Celtic)
They play each other, Aberdeen have both the OF to play and Utd still have Rangers.
We could draw against both Utd and Aberdeen, in fact, and retain all the advantages, thanks to GD
But yeah a win at Pittodrie seals it for me
Quite happy with that. Gives us a real chance to get the job done early. Avoided Celtic when they’re looking to win the league or get the trophy. St Mirren and Rangers hopefully in holiday mode by the time we face them.
As I've said above I feel avoiding defeat to Aberdeen will be the key in all fixtures coming up.
How they get on at the weekend in the Semi will have a massive impact on the result against us I feel as well possibly.
Not one Hibs game being shown on SKY. Huge battle for third and they have picked none of the games. Also not bothered with a bottom 6 game which is crazy considering how many teams are still involved.
