They will do fine next year, maybe not as good as the last time he got them up, then got them 3rd first season and were 2nd half way thru the season he left but were some big clubs missing with just Celtic and Aberdeen to contend with

Different division next season as will be the first season since 2011/12 that Celtic, a version of Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts Hibs and United will all be in the top flight together, before then it had been a given which made our success of those years all the better

You're right Shedka, remarkable we never drew any of our first 18 league games last season. Quite a change this season right enough. First draw was our 19th game, 1-1 with The Fun at home. Dec 27, 1919.
On looking further on Arab Archive bad reminder than in our last SEVEN C'ship games before the league was ended by the pox we had but ONE solitary win. CHAM-PIONES!

There's nothing I miss about the man. Some of the most turgid football I've ever witnessed was played under his leadership, even in victory. Watching his post match interviews with Hearts make me cringe to think we could've still had him as manager.

I notice he's now trying his best to emulate our end of season last season with Hearts this time around after a good start.

It was a bloody important one though. :)
