    Think we’re guaranteed Tynecastle because of seeding.

    I was looking at this earlier and thought that myself being honest I would take Motherwell in the top 6 as well and happily go to Fir park a 3rd time and send them to Ibrox a third time.

    However I agree with you that essentially two of our five fixtures will be Rangers and Hearts at home. The other three we will have one home and two away but as you say what those will be is anyones guess the now.

    The way Hibs are playing I wouldn’t be surprised to see them drop out tbh.

    Would say they’re more likely to drop out than Livi.

    Even though we haven’t played United, St Mirren or County away twice yet?

    If two of those make top 6 surely that’s our aways.

    Don’t know mate. Obviously depending on who all finishes top 6 and who has what home/away games.

    Not even going to attempt to work it out until the top 6 is certain. The seedings based on last season are probably the most inaccurate they’ve ever been compared to current league position.

    Wanted to at least take the same amount of points as them up to the Glasgow Derby before the split. So far, we have taken 4 points and they have taken 4 points. This weekend is huge for us. Win on Sunday and we have a home game with Ross County to go before the derby. Assuming we both win our games before the derby, all the pressure would surely be on them to win at their own ground to close the gap? We are 3 points ahead but also 11 goals is it? So, that's another point in itself. Go into the split with a 3 point lead and 3 of the 5 games to play at home while missing, what looks like on paper, a trip to Easter Road and Tynecastle? Surely we would become big favourites

    Fixtures before the split

    Celtic - Livi (a), Ross County (h), Huns (a), St Johnstone (h)

    Huns - Aberdeen (h), Dundee (a), us (h), St Mirren (a)

    We need to be going into the derby with that three point gap intact at the least.

    If we beat Livi, we should be fine. If they drop points to Aberdeen on Saturday, I think they're * for the season.

    Would agree with this if we beat Livi.

    Livi away for us is basically as close to a banker you’ll get for us dropping points. If we were to win that and they drop more points at home then they’ll panic big time.

    Would essentially make both derbies for them must win as well. Even a draw against us would be fatal.

    We beat livi the league is ours.

    That's the where we could seriously and most likely drop points outside of a game against second right now.

    Obviously we can drop points anywhere but Livi is a must win to get that league title back and * the huns season

    If they drop points tomorrow and we end the Livi curse on Sunday, that's an absolutely massive step for us towards the title.

    Neither of those are anything close to being guaranteed, but one can dream.

    The way we are playing Livi away is going to be a struggle and I do not want to go to the huns level on points

    I think Aberdeen's * will collapse and we will again struggle to win at livi. If there is a game this season we need a early goal its away to aldi bag pitch.

    Get that win against Ross County next time out and going into Ibrox with a minimum 3 point gap. Must win for them if so.

    We smashed the Huns, only lost 2pts away to Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and Livi definitely Championship winning form.

    3 point cushion.

    +11 goal difference.

    5 home & 3 away vs 3 home & 5 away.

    Kyogo to return after international break.
