If so, I hope we will be well clear of them by that time! The way it's looking at the moment we will be at home to County and Aberdeen and away to Livi. Of the others in bottom six (two out of three) we would at home to Hibs and away to Dundee and Motherwell. Hibs in bottom six would mean three home games and two away, otherwise it will be two home games and three away.

I think Keltjens looks a pretty good player though not currently in the best of form. Hopefully that's something that can be worked on as I feel he has a lot more to give. I'm not even sure RB is his preferred position, though? Part of me wonders if he might move into midfield when Phillips moves on. Totally agree on Sidibeh and I really don't think it should even be a surprise. There was some ridiculous stuff being said by some fans when he first arrived, without even seeing him play or knowing anything about the level he'd come from.

Given the quality of Sidibeh and Keltjens, and to a lesser extent Kimpioka, I have reasonable confidence that if we manage to stay up this season (which I think we will - 10th place), Levein has an eye for a player, and the contacts to ensure we can have a decent squad next season and be more like 7th/8th finishers. We have some high earners whose contracts will be finishing in the summer, and some older players who will be moving on. Both Livi and Ross County are likely to lose their final game before the split (against Hearts and Rangers respectively). We have a really good opportunity at home against Killie to pull 7 points ahead, which would then make it very hard for Ross to catch up.
