Guaranteed top 6 finish

[PatHead]

Looking at the current league positions we are sitting on 49 points. Dundee United in 7th place have 31 points with 5 games until the split.

This means we can't be caught and are guaranteed a top 6 finish.

[Jack]

Well spotted.

[danhibees1875]

Good spot.

How far through this season we are has taken me a bit by surprise there.

[Hibby70]

We can also still win the league.

[Diclonius]

Our third top half finish in four seasons, after not managing it at all from 2010-17.

[PatHead]

I know it is stretching it but if we beat Livingston home and away I think we only need some thing like 4 other victories between now and the end of the season to guarantee 4th.

I know that is stretching it but that is allowing for Livvy winning all their matches apart from ours.

Europe within touching distance.

If we win all our games and the the lost all their's then we win the league, as long as the team currenly 6 points above don't start to pick up points, however if the the have 3 draws in this time then we would need a 48 goal swing our way to be crowned champions.

Lets just be realistic and say third place has been a very good campaign if we can achieve that.

[CMurdoch]

Good spot.
We are playing all our remaining 5 pre split fixtures on a Saturday so lots of rest between games.
St Mirren are playing Wednesday and Saturday for the next 3 weeks including games against Aberdeen and Livingston.
Hope they have enough energy to damage them with at least a draw allowing us to build up a good pre-split lead.

Think we'd have been too six last season too. Makes you realise how bad we were

Bit harsh, Impossible to finish top6 in 3 of those 8 :)

I hope St Mirren get top6. If only for beating both OF recently and that legendary win v Jambos

And we need just four points to guarantee we avoid automatic relegation.

Not sure if I've missed a whoosh moment or not but if we can't finish in the bottom six then we can't be relegated.

I think the woosh is on me - I'd just worked out Ross County could get a maximum of 53 points - bloody split!

[Ozyhibby]

5 point clear and with only ten games to go and we better finish in the top 3. Aberdeen are struggling big time and have three games left v Celtic compared to us only having to play them once.

I'm sure I read that Aberdeen have 11 games left and 7 off them are against celtic (3) the huns (2) us and Livingston.
We just need to keep racking the points up and hopefully everyone stays fit and we go on a good run

If, and it’s a big if, we can get to the split with a 5 point lead in third it’s going to be very difficult for anyone to catch us. Massive games each week coming up.

Looking at the fixtures for us, Aberdeen and Livingston I’ll be a bit disappointed if we are still only 5 points ahead of them come the split. They’ve got a much harder run in than us to the split.

They do have 11 games left, 3 against Celtic, 1 against Rangers, 1 against us and 1 against Livingston.

It's in our hands now. Got to make the most of the fixtures between now and the split. They are all winnable. Aberdeen have Celtic x 2 which is a huge obstacle to overcome.

That's very encouraging - they definitely have a tougher run in than ourselves. Our next 3 games are against 3 of the bottom 4. If we can pick up 7 or even 9 points from those we should be in an excellent position.

[Unseen work]

I’m surprised at how confident some are over a 5 point lead, especially when they have a game in hand.

As cliche’d as it sounds I’m going to take one game at a time. We expected to beat Ross County last time round and got pumped, can’t afford the same again.

Their game in hand is at celtc park. They also have to play celtc again before the split. I think we’ve got every right to be confident.

Our next few games are huge as potential to pick up some points in our current form. Would be good if we can go into split with more than the 5 point lead.

[Since90+2]

I'd say we are very likely to finish top 4 and probably fairly likely to finish 3rd.

Overall we'll have had a pretty decent season. Next year we will aim to get 3rd again and cement our place as Scotland's third best side now that Aberdeen look to be on the slide.

Aberdeen haven't scored a single goal in 4 of their last 5 league matches. Their game in hand is at Celtic Park and they also play Celtic again before the split (also at Celtic Park).

I'd flip it round and say I'm surprised people aren't confident we will finish 3rd.

[broondog]

Quite funnny there’s some on here still claiming it’s not been a good season. Can see ya securing 3rd and even pushing for 2nd now.cant wait for Europe next season!
