I'm just hoping we don't get lumped against them when it's decided that it's the perfect time for Celtic to "win the league". Friday 20th 7.45 according to the Sun article!!

Is it a case of sending out the fixtures to them for their perusal and agreement before issuing to the other clubs and the fans. I wouldn't be surprised. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2457515/celtic-rangers-old-firm-split-fixtures-game/ As mentioned above, every club will probably know the fixtures by know, but will just be waiting for the final go ahead from the the broadcasters etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That's not a remotely fair comparison - the cup rules explicitly state how much money each team gets from those games. In the case of the Premiership, there's no guarantee of more than one home game against any particular side. If we ended up only having 17 home games and 21 aways or something like that then it would be reasonable to complain, but if you get 19 homes and 19 aways and your schedule isn't particularly disrupted then I don't think that's unfair. The club would be entitled to be disappointed, but they wouldn't have a case for saying there was anything particularly unfair about it. Fair enough, I’ll concede to you on this.

anotherchance Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I remember we beat Falkirk at home on a Monday night about 10 years ago on the last game before the split to confirm top 6 - Setanta announced the fixtures 15 minutes after the final whistle.Weegies min.

Aim Here Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 18 minutes ago, Cumdog35 said: Hopefully Celtic throw us the game so they can win it against Sevco Nah. Don't you think we can stop them winning on our own merits? Hibernian aren't completely terrible at the ol' fitba' these days. We don't actually need to win ourselves - a draw would probably be enough, and we've done that twice this season already. Over the season, Celtic only wins about 60-70% of their league games (which is an unusual use of the word 'only', I concede). An average premiership team - like St Johnstone or Hearts - would be expected to stop them winning maybe 30-40% of the time, and we've been above average in our performance against OF East recently. For the Police Scotland Glasgowgeddon to happen, Hibs doesn't lose vs Celtic, and either Rangers wins that weekend, or Aberdeen wins that weekend and on the following week's game (because pounds to peanuts, it'll be scheduled to happen before the OF game). It's probably less than a 50% chance, but it's not hugely unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The bottom six could have been done with as few as two switches, did we not deduce? Saints have three switches alone! How fucking hard is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
