    What shenanigans are we expecting for the post split schedule from the SFA?

    Are we absolutely, indisputably due 4 home games or whatever the number is?

    There's still a lot of work to be done yet. We know the referees will do all they can to thwart us and we know those teams with hun loving managers will ensure their teams try that bit harder against us than against the huns. We need a combination of our first half against the hun and second half against St Mirren displays for the full 90 minutes in all our remaining games to win this league and hopefully the cup as well.

    I don't disagree; but looking at the likely fixtures, it ought to be easier to win all our remaining non-derby games than to win what is going to be a very close game against the Huns. On paper it is, anyway. I know it doesn't always work like that.

    At the moment on the fixtures it is a case of wait and see. We have the Scottish cup semi to take care off but in the league it’s likely they play again twice before we do again. Let’s see what happens.

    As others have mentioned above our focus with only 6 or 7 games left and only one midweek, so one at a time focus on that and get those ticked off game by game.

    Looking at the table there, outwith the title the only two places that will change are Dundee and St.Mirren. Killie and Hearts season is pretty much done in terms of where they will finish.

    Hearts will put everything into the semi and pending on how that goes, it's either focus on the cup final or season over..

    My point is there is very little to play for outside the title which will leave for more open games that will 100% suit us more...

    One game at a time of course but ya got to fancy our chances from here, taking nothing for granted.. mind if the huns don't win on Wednesday its be hard to * it up from there..

    Yesterday was an absolute kick in the balls for them but I'm still surprised at the hun reaction which seems to be throw in the towel.. I'd say mind games but the huns are not smart enough for that.

    Big difference of course is We win title after title and know what it takes, the huns havnt a scooby.

    We should be Hot favs now..

    Still confident.

    Maeda will be a miss for his work rate but CCV, Hatate and McGregor back will help loads.

    Think Killie away will be the 1st game..

    Hopefully Hearts at home last, ideally with the league won by then or that could be very nervy indeed..

    You're absolutely deluded if you think it's not going to be Killie first after the split.

    Good to see our FB friends across the city feeling confident - and I thought we were down on our team at times!

    In fairness to Killie they try hard against the huns too, killie is a hard place to go full stop, and no problem with that.. Hearts are a different story, they will roll over for the huns and give everything against us 100%, we just need to be prepared for that.

    I just think with the league pretty much done we might see teams and games being a bit more open. It's a long season and with nothing to play for a few players will be eyeing their holidays.

    I'd imagine alot of players will be coming to the end of their contracts too and might also be avoiding injury to get new ones in the summer.

    Just a thought mate

    In fairness alot of folk in here threw the towel in weeks ago too ha. Football fans are fickle. If they thump Dundee they will be full of bluster again don't you worry mate.

    Leagues far from over, we are just favourites now

    I don't know. It could go either way, we haven't won 6 games in a row all season I can't imagine we'll do it now but we might not have to if they implode.

    VAR will no doubt * us at one point as well.

    I don’t know - I think that depends on us showing up and being a 90-minute team , something we’ve failed to do many times this season. Also depends on the results of the next 2 hun games and whether they show up at Celtic Park or not (if they’re only a point behind, they might do).

    I’m not saying the derby will be easy at all, but, tbh, the Killie game probably worries me more at the moment.

    Its been a very good weekend for us but with away games at Tynecastle and Rugby Park still to come, the league is far from over. Although things could get a lot less stressful for us if the huns continue to shoot themselves in the foot, Wednesday night could be interesting.

    Are we actually having to go to Tynecastle again? Seems unfair if so.
