Scottish premier league.

[From Despair To Where?]

Just a bizarre appointment really, I'm amazed they didn't go back to Postecoglu, given he was available when they sacked Rodgers. Having said that, O'Neill did well as caretaker.

I can't see how he can survive. Celtic are a shambles behind the scenes at the moment though, because all things being equal, they should be walking the league with the squad they've got.

Good result for Rangers which makes it the most competitive it has been for years at the top of the league with now 3 teams in with a chance.

[From Despair To Where?]

Thing is, Rangers are an absolute mess off the field as well. It's very rare for both Old Firm clubs to be like that and I really hope Hearts can capitalise.

Stranraer may lose their lucrative 5th round cup match at Ibrox because of a cock-up in the 4th round replay.

We can confirm that an appeal has been made to the Scottish FA regarding the eligibility of goalkeeper Lyndon Tas.
Agreement had been reached with Hamilton Academical for Josh Lane to feature in the Scottish Cup 4th Round on Saturday, but this was refused for the rearranged fixture on Tuesday night.
With only one goalkeeper in our playing squad, we acted quickly in good faith to recruit a goalkeeper on loan with help from Heart of Midlothian.
Scottish Cup competition rules state that where fixtures are rearranged, any new player must be registered by the date of the original tie, unless signed on an emergency loan.
The question was raised as to whether the signing of Lyndon qualifies as an emergency loan, and we are deemed to have breached that regulation.
We will have the opportunity to present our case and provide mitigation to the panel in due course.

Shame - the income from that match would have made such a massive difference to them.

Has O’Neills’ jam sandwich become devoid of jam? Two defeats on the spin
Great result for Hibs, the bouys ‘catholic brotherhood’ from their rival city.

Shaping up for a decent climatic season end

Rangers drew as well, albeit recovering from 2-0 down.

Just looking at the pre-split fixtures and it appears Hearts have the easiest run on paper:

Hearts (60 pts)

1. 28 Feb - Aberdeen (H) - 8th
2. 14 Mar - Kilmarnock (A) - 11th
3. 21 Mar - Dundee (H) - 9th
4. 4 Apr - Livingston (A) - 12th
5. 11 Apr - Motherwell (H) - 4th

Rangers (56 pts)

1. 1 Mar - Celtic (H) - 3rd
2. 15 Mar - St Mirren (A) - 10th
3. 21 Mar - Aberdeen (H) - 8th
4. 4 Apr - Dundee Utd (H) - 7th
5. 11 Apr - Falkirk (A) - 6th

[/list]
Celtic (54 pts)

1. 1 Mar - Rangers (A) - 2nd
2. 4 Mar - Aberdeen (A) - 8th
3. 14 Mar - Motherwell (H) - 4th
4. 22 Mar - Dundee Utd (A) - 7th
5. 4 Apr - Dundee (A) - 9th
6. 11 Apr - St Mirren (H) - 10th

Post-split we're looking at (obviously we don't know dates, but the Old Firm is usually the first weekend):
Hearts

1. Rangers (H) - 2nd
2. Celtic (H) - 3rd
3. Motherwell (A) - 4th
4. Hibernian (A) - 5th
5. Falkirk (A) - 6th

Rangers

1. Hearts (A) - 1st
2. Celtic (A) - 3rd
3. Motherwell (H) - 4th
4. Hibernian (H) - 5th
5. Falkirk (H) - 6th

Celtic

1. Hearts (A) - 1st
2. Rangers (H) - 2nd
3. Motherwell (A) - 4th
4. Hibernian (A) - 5th
5. Falkirk (H) - 6th

Hearts having both Rangers and Celtic at home could be vital, but Motherwell look impressive at the moment and Hibernian would want to have a say in the title picture with Hearts being there.

I watched the Livingston vs Rangers game today, it`s astounding that they give virtually the whole ground to the away fans, It makes sense I suppose regarding ticket sales, but it`s an home game pretty much when the Glasgow clubs come visiting.

Really hate the stupid “split” idea, what’s the point in it other than denying attendances to the strugglers but then the Scottish football pyramid isn’t the most intelligently designed.

Think it all should be scrapped and that Rangers should just play Celtic 36 times to decide who wins the league while the order clubs have a league to work out the other places.
