    There should be a rule in place. The highest placed team or draw straws or whatever, it should be clear before the season starts.

    Rumours are we’re getting the 3 home games - United, St Mirren and Rangers

    Celtic to play Aberdeen first

    With us playing Celtic in the last game and game before cup final

    Aberdeen fans already moaning.
    If true, that's a shocking decision by the league that we would be up in arms about if it had gone against us.

    Don't know if it's correct, but Lovell said on Hibs TV yesterday that there was a rule along those lines – the team that finished higher last season takes priority. His example was that St Mirren would get priority over us.

    Even if that is right, it's not clear to me how it would work in practice when there are multiple teams involved and two types of possible imbalance (number of home/away vs a specific team and overall number of home/away). Is a team having an 18/20 split overall better or worse than a team having a 1/3 split against one club?

    If true I'm delighted but it is a shocking decision. For me the most important thing is to avoid being the first game against Celtic. The rest will take care of themselves

    He did. I don't think he's 100% right though. I'm sure an SPFL guy once admitted there is a seeding and if it works out everybody gets 19 home and away. If it doesn't then a team seeded top 6 dropping to bottom 6 gets 20 home and a team seeded bottom 6 in top 6 gets 18 homes. Where this differs to what Lovell said is that I don't think it's just based on last season's league placings. You've got to love Scottish football's spirit of fair play and transparency.

    What’s the TV situation with Hibs, have we used all our sky sports home games, or is there still 1/2 outstanding
    Do Premier get access to post split games

    They base the fixtures and placings of the top and bottom six based on the previous seasons. If it's not the same, which it hardly ever is then the changes begin.

    Might be wrong but I think yesterdays game was Premiers last unless they purchase more of course.

    If that's accurate we essentially need to win the first 2 games after the split and 3rd will effectively be sealed.

    I would take that. If we beat the Dons up there we would be well on our way assuming Celt win league at Tannadice. Beat Utd at home and then it would take an amazing run from Utd or Dons to overtake us. I want to play our rivals when we are on top form and if we win the race is over.

    If we manage to get Celtic last with Aberdeen getting them first then IF we manage to open up a bigger gap from them it will be massive in terms of confidence booster to both teams.

    Plus ideally you want Aberdeen going to extra time against the Yams but to go through so it gives them one eye on final also.

    I think that's as fair as it realistically could be.

    Think it’s perfect personally.

    Aberdeen whilst we are in top form
    United battered by Celtic the week before
    Celtic on holiday
    St Mirren marooned in sixth
    Huns have already given up.

    It’s up to us, one game at a time.

    Having our two direct rivals first up gives us the opportunity to seal it within two weeks though.

    Better than, say, losing to Celtic in the opening game before heading to bogey ground Paisley.

    Let’s go for it head on.

    Away to Aberdeen 1st game and sent to Paisley 3 times in one season.

    Someone at it at the SPFL.

    From the BBC Website
    They are set to travel to Pittodrie and welcome United to Easter Road. They should also face a trip to Celtic, and home matches against Rangers and St Mirren - now the only side Hibs have failed to beat this season.

    Can’t see them agreeing to Celtic possibly winning the league at Ibrox, if Celtic lose at Dundee Utd, and Rangers win at Paisley

    It's wrong to play 3 times away at one venue in a season.

    The fomat is flawed and we are the ones who have lost out....does this mean that St Mirren will have had 20 home games. Why should they get 20 home games when we have finished 3rd before the split. Talk about not rewarding achievement.

    It's also suspect us playing Aberdeen first. Is this how the compter did it, or are the SPFL looking to squeeze the league points totals asap.

    I don't fear playing Aberdeen away. I just think it stinks a bit.

    Surely the Rangers are getting a small corner of the south and filling rest with our fans.
