Win our game in hand and we’re 9 points behind.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Still a lot and let’s face it, we’re not catching them but I’m going to allow my mind to wander for a bit.
9 points goes to 6 behind when we beat them at home after the split. 6 points goes down to 3 points when they lose to Rangers before the split and we beat Livi on the same day.
3 points is nothing really, can make that up nae bother 😉

As long as we beat Motherwell on Saturday, a draw between Aberdeen and a Celtic would be terrific.

Never in a million years a Celtic manager and I suspect a part of the problem there, if they decide to replace Lennon with him until the end of the season I doubt very much there’d be a bounce from him.

Reckon Lennon would've been sacked by now of they knew they had someone capable in the backroom staff to takeover until the end of the season. Our next 4 matches will largely dictate whether we'll be battling for 2nd or 3rd. If we can win 3 or 4 of them, then it's game on imo. Rangers will have won the league already, will Celtic players be able to motivate themselves to have to battle for 2nd place?

Would be classic hibs where the one season where third would be guaranteed group stage football in Europe, we finish second

Lose and we enter 3rd qualifying round of Europa league.
Lose and we enter the play off round of the conference league.
Would be one winning tie away from groups of some form.

What’s our record points total since we’ve had the current 38 game season? We must have a decent chance of beating it?
Looked it up:
2001 - 66 pts
2005 - 61 pts
2018 - 67 ptsLast edited by JeMeSouviens; 21-02-2021 at 10:04 PM.

He’s slagging his players off tonight saying some are scared to header a ball.

I wonder if playing only three rounds, but one being champs league, would be worth more money than the conference groups?Last edited by hibby rae; 21-02-2021 at 10:25 PM.

I'd love us to get second, but I could see us then losing all three qualifier rounds to crash out before the groups. Would happily have 3rd place now

Nothing easy there. Personally I'd take third and guaranteed European football until December.Last edited by mayo hibee; 21-02-2021 at 10:27 PM.

If we win our next 4 tough but winnable games we go into the split on 64 pts, if Celtic lose to Rangers and draw with Aberdeen or Dundee Utd they're on 68 pts. Beat them at ER after split and there's 1 pt in it. Far from impossible.

Games would be as follows:
Champions league tie vs runner up from Holland, Turkey, Austria, Denmark or Czech.
If we lost, Europa league tie against either of the other two losers from above, or the Czech cup winner.
If we lost, conference league tie against the other losing team from above, any of the winners from the previous round (lots of smaller nations) or 4th from Portugal, 5th from France, or 6th in any the top 4 leagues.
Now would imagine dropping down like that we would be seeded come the final game but I’ve no idea how that all works at this stage.

Everyone, myself included, is talking as if it’s a banker we will win our game in hand.
The team we play our game in hand against just beat Celtic and pumped us the last time we played them.
In fairness, there’s absolutely no need for this post pishing on everyone’s chips when I think most realise it’s very unlikely, but not impossible.
Nothing wrong with letting our minds wander a bit as long as the players don’t. Also got to hope it helps keep the players minds focused.

So do we want a Celtic win next week to help us finish 3rd but have almost no chance of 2nd or an Aberdeen win to help us get a chance of finishing 2nd but risk dropping down to 4th?
Celtic win every day of the week for me.
I'm already quite excited about seeing us playing in the group stages of Europe even if it is in the Europa Conference League. To be honest I'm more excited about that than the prospect of playing a bunch of qualifiers even if one of those rounds is in the Champions League.
Although it would be very satisfying to finish above Celtic.
I just can't see any way that we pick up 13 more points than Celtic over the last 9 games of the season.
