Seeing as our games off how do we want the others to go
Ham v Killie (draw or home win keep Killie in freefall)
Abdn v ICT (home win)
Ross C v Dundee (a draw)
Hearts v Celtic (away win)

Would be happy with those outcomes

Not too upset at that game being off Dundee Utd have gotta get a result sooner or later under Mixu so best not let it be us

[jwok]

That would do nicely. The Killie result is the banker.

I think Dundee United would have been quite happy for the game to be postponed, given that they'll be bringing in reinforcements next month.

Yes and no...on the one hand they'll feel they could be stronger in the next month but on the other (much like when they failed to catch us in the CL race a few years ago), games against your direct opponents are the best way to make up ground and having them rendered meaningless is fatal. United are at Tynecastle next then have the derby - it's not impossible they'll pull out a surprise but 0-2 points more likely. If - IF - we can take three or even better four from two home games against St Johnstone and Accies, we'll be getting so far away from them it won't matter even if we lose to their improved side in a month or two as they'll be so far adrift we're effectively safe.
