Agreed.
The only real benefit is to allow any niggly wee injuries that players are carrying to settle down, and you dont pick up any more injuries or suspensions.
Given that we actually had games that might have been played, it wont have allowed much more prep for this game as we would have been focussed on Dundee and Aberdeen.
We are at home however, and with the bigger home supports we have experienced of late, I imagine the atmosphere for this one could be quite tasty.
