Next Saturday its Livingston v Hamilton.

Fakes play at Hamilton 20th when we play The Staggies.

I think we knew what he meant.

Actually a decent win for us & two big defeats for Livi could put us above them.

Would that not be great. Stop their unbeaten run. Beat them in cup final & pip them for top 6.

You are right didn't realise we have to wait 2 weeks to see if we can pip St Mirren.  As Cagey says by the 20th we will know if we have the chance to pip Livi as well and maybe jump into 5th place!  At present our best hope is to pip St M but a lot depends on Celtic extracting the digit tomorrow.

Its not impossible for us to be 5th after 33 games, that would be hilarious.  I think livi could quite easily lose both their games and be -5 or worse GD.  As mentioned above, that would be a brutal bubble bursting at the hands of Saints.

We've still got to beat Ross County though. Not a gimmie by and stretch.

Watched the Utd Celtic game. Celtic not interested in winning and as hard as the tried the could not give utd a goal. Last 15 mins they left it 2v2 at the back,

All's well that ends well they are now out of the fight for 6th; goal difference kills them

Celtic throwing that game is sensible. A Celtic - Rangers* title decider in the middle of a pandemic doesn’t bear thinking about........

Pandemic doesn't affect you if you are a rangers fan going by pictures from Glasgow over last 2 days.

We will have to do quite a lengthy prayer if we want Hamilton to take Livi apart but I suppose they are fighting for their lives!

Only one game affects us for top six. Hamilton beat st midden. If Hamilton beat livi it’s good for us going higher but to make top six we need Hamilton to beat st midden full stop

Not entirely true although that is the most straightforward result, St Mirren could win against Hamilton and Livi lose both their games we would be top six if we win. In reality the only game that matters is that we beat Ross County.l

I do realise some of the games need to be more than single goal winning margins but not looking at ridiculous scores for our benefit.

I agree it is not a single game which will decided our fate of a top 6 finish but a permutation of games and what ifs. After Saturday's game Livi v Hibs there may be one less permutation and a what if. All the permutations go out the window if we cannot beat Ross County. It's as clear as mud :cool:

Ooft, if Hamilton do win both games but we do not beat RC we are bottom six and it’s squeaky bum time again.... :(

It would be very frustrating if either or both Livi and St Mirren flounder and so can be overtaken and we fail to beat RC.  We will have to defend better than Kilmarnock did v RC for a start.

Fine margins. No matter what we have to beat County & let the rest take care of itself.

If we are stuck in bottom half then we may get to see what fringe players can do provided we don't plummet.
