Great point. That might help matters a bit then.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Worth noting that Barry Town, Lithuanian teams and Luxembourg teams all have higher coefficients than hibs at the moment, even after for allowing that we take quarter the total Scottish coefficient as a floor.

A Celtc-Sheep 0-0 with plenty of injuries and red cards for me.

11/12 - 60 (Due to the liquidation of Rangers, all the quaified teams moved up one place so 53 points would have been enough to finish in the top Europa League spot which was 4th)
12/13 - 55
13/14 - 59
14/15 - 58
15/16 - 57
16/17 - 59
17/18 - 68
18/19 - 67 (3rd and 4th finished on the same points and it was decided on goal difference)
19/20 - 58 (season abandoned early - based on the PPG gained by the time the season was finished 58 points would have been enough to finish 3rd)
Rounding things up to the nearest whole number, an average of 59 points is enough to finish 3rd since we have had a 12 team league.
However Aberdeen's currently on track to get around 61 points so 10 points for us should hopefully be enough.

I've a gut feeling Aberdeen will get something from Parkhead on Saturday.

I'm always happy when a team is at least two wins away from catching us as Aberdeen are at the moment.
Obviously if we keep winning then it won't matter but if Aberdeen win on Saturday it gives them a huge boost and one bad result for us puts us under pressure again.
With the best will in the world we're almost certainly not catching Celtic - we would probably need to win practically all of our remaining matches to do so.
I'm more than happy for Aberdeen to get pumped rotten on Saturday.

I just think that to finish third is huge this season with the prospect of a lengthy European campaign.
My fear is we slip up against Motherwell and Aberdeen win at Parkhead as it would be a huge physcological swing in their favour and I don't want that.
In a pontoon scenario its almost stick or twist, I would stick with what I have and you would twist which is fair enough.
Stay safe Silv

It'd be nice if (apart from against us) Livingston found their feet again. It'd be nice for Aberdeen to be looking over their shoulders at them than at us. Far easier to do the chasing than being chased IMO

If top 6 remains as is, anyone figured out our likely home / away games ?

Makes it look like we need to keep the heid in the next few weeks and keep it steady.

Split could end up a mess.
Our fixtures work out fine, as does Aberdeen and St Mirren’s, Celtic would be due an extra home game and Livingston one less home game, so I’d imagine that game would be switched. That would mean everyone bar Rangers would have 19 home and 19 away.
That leaves the rangers anomaly. They are due 3 home and 2 away, but are due to have 4 of the sides visit them for a second time. If they move one of their home games away, it then throws off someone else’s fixtures. As the title will be wrapped up I’d imagine they’d leave their fixtures as is.
Not even looked to see what would happen if St Johnstone or United replaced st Mirren.

I agree with Silver, when you're 3rd in the league you must look up if there's a chance to take a higher place.
It was mentioned earlier but we missed a chance to be 3pts closer after the Dubai carry on, although a point at Parkhead is always decent we should have been at their throats from the off but I felt we were too passive and let them settle in the game.
I do think JR is just a bit too cautious but it was quite soon after the semi and some poor results so steadying the ship was important and no one can argue with the results since then as a defeat could have really got everyone very agitated.
All I ask is that the team play like we did in the last game vs Aberdeen and if we do then I'll accept gladly whatever position we have. It will at least be 3rd I'm sure of it but let's keep the dream alive of 2nd.
If Rangers build on this season and Celtic can come up with a new Brendan Rodgers then it could be a long time till we have the chance again, we're worried about not being able to sign Jackson Irvine next year, I'd say 2nd place, the extra prize money and glamour games could finance players of his quality or better?
