    No, don't think we can. Hope to beat St Mirren and Kilmarnock but can't see us winning against Rangers or Hearts unless Celtic beat Rangers on 11th May and Rangers have effectively lost the league.
    Hearts and Killie seem to have little to play for so perhaps if we beat St Mirren we give ourselves a motivation to stay in 5th.

    My view firstly, is we have to 100 percent beat St Mirren, anything less leaves us a near impossible path especially with the way the fixtures are panned out.

    Say we go one point clear Saturday, I would guess Saints then pick up 4 in their next two matches, which would mean us having to pick up a point at either tynecastle or ibrox to take it to the last day.

    If we are within two of saints going into Killie match, would be fairly confident of getting 5th.

    But need to beat saints, and really hope saints don’t get more than 4 points from their two home games v hearts and Killie.

    It's in our own hands with 4 games left so that's a positive.
    It's probably dependant how the title race pans out.
    Celtic win their next 2 at home it's done.
    This cud impact out away game at rangers but also Celtic at home to st Mirren last game.
    7 may be enough or 9 might be needed.

    Think the fear of tic downing tools is a wee bit overstated in places.

    Had a look back at last 10 years last day results for Celtic......make fairly interesting reading for a team with little to play for .....looks like party time, most of the time.

    Aberdeen won 5 zip
    Well won 6 zip
    Hibs draw 0-0
    Hearts won 2-1
    Aberdeen lost 0-1
    Hearts won 2-0
    Well won 7 zip
    ICT won 5 zip
    Dabs won 3-1
    Dabs won 4-0

    First thing first though, let's beat ST m.

    It's more a fear them playing a weakened team due to cup final the week after.

    If they win league they’ll be presented with the trophy. They won’t want to lose the day they get the trophy.
