Ya Bezzer!

They had a young boy at centre half making his debut, Michael Rose. Think we will see Ash Taylor coming back in.

What Dunfermline fans are these? Never heard anything but praise, not only from Dunfermline fans but from fans of his previous clubs. I've even heard some say he's been there best player since Stevie Crawford. Can play at right back as well. Two for one.

Andy Geggan.

Aberdeen have only lost once at home all season, and that's in league, domestic cups and three rounds of European ties - 1 defeat in 19 matches. St. Johnstone beat them back in October but they are the only team to win there in 2015/16. DIfficult to say what Aberdeen's psychology will be going into this game but on the face of it this is a tough tie.

I'd play Hall before Laing. I like the look of Hall but if he moves on, he moves on, although maybe someone should tell him the story of Paul Slane.

Must be a different one because it was Johnson tried to take on three men and lost it in the semi circle instead of playing a simple pass. I'm going deaf but I think my eyesight is still not bad! I thought Samson did very well today and was a big part of us getting a clean sheet. He was very calm, looked like an experienced player out there, kept the back four organised and with the exception of one cross did everything he had to do, including a pretty smart save and some tricky balls to feet. I think Ripley has been our best keeper since Randolph but Samson today looked like a guy that's been around the game and showed a calm authority that maybe Ripley has yet to learn. As for Lionel Ainsworth - he's just not been right this season. He looks 'down' somehow. Maybe it's a football matter but players also have all the same problems we do, so maybe it is a personal issue. On the other hand he might just be out of form. Whatever it is I was glad to see him score today and I hope he can get a few more before the end of the season.

I hope Hall stays but I bet if you looked at Louis Laing's wage slip and Ben Hall's there would be a pretty big gulf there even though Hall has shown himself to be a much better player this season.

Had to be someone from the back four today and I thought Hammell had a very good game.

With a better final touch we could have racked up a big score today. Just off the top of my head Moult and McDonald have both missed sitters and Johnson should have put McDonald (I think) clean through instead of being greedy. Thought Samson was very composed today, pretty solid at the back and we held up well to a physically strong Hearts team.

Samson gets a first start.

No idea, would have been running around the terrace not paying much attention. One of the first games I have a memory of was us beating Dundee Utd which was a big deal in those days. Also remember bottles and bricks flying during an 'ambush' at the underpass! Relatives took me to some games in the early 80's but I really caught the football bug from going to a U21 WC qualifier against Iceland at Fir Park. Our school took us to the match. After that I wanted to go to live games and I was just about to go to High School so my mum let me go to the football unsupervised by an adult. Not missed many home games since 1986.

Wee bit disappointing that our last two matches of the season are away but five games to clinch 4th.

Having see the highlight I thought McDonald was marginally offside for the goal so I don't think we have much complaint there. Celtic penalty was also a stonewaller and Ripley's howler looks even worse on TV than it did at the game.

They will spend money though and you can bet a couple of new centre halves are on the shopping list. As much as I would love to see them struggle I can't see them not being Top 6. I think the Hearts team that came up was stronger than this Rangers team and Hearts strengthened quite a bit so I think Rangers will be around 4th or 5th in the league.

We've also had Ross County twice so we should have two home games against St.Johnstone and Hearts but as we all know it doesn't always work out that way.

No reason we can't finish 4th now. The money would be welcome and remember if Celtic beat Rangers they will face Hibs or Dundee Utd in the final.

Tough one. I would have given it to Ripley if not for the blunder but it has cost us the match so I don't think I can give him my award. Going to go for McDonald. He was knackered in the last 10 or 15 minutes but he works so hard every match and scored our goal and perhaps should have had two.

The ex Dundee and at the time Livingston defender Declan Gallagher got 3 years in jail for battering someone with a baseball bat earlier in the season. Can't remember too many players in Scotland being sent to prison.

Think Partick will win at Ross County. Think St. Johnstone will get a point at Kilmarnock. Best bet is Hamilton to get a draw with Dundee. That's my prediction.

Sat too deep in the first half but to be fair we were a minute away from going in at half time at 0-0. A lot of that was down to Ripley of course but not to take anything away from him most of the saves were routine ones with a couple of great ones sprinkled about. I can't really tell off sides down at the Cooper End because of the angle and distance I sit so I can't comment much on the disallowed goal but the BBC report calls it 'controversial'. Thought we competed quite well until the second goal for Celtic after which I felt it all went a bit flat and the energy went out of the team. Pretty annoying that Ripley has had such a good game today and then conceded a goal like the one he did that has cost us the game. So near and yet so far. Going to be a nervous afternoon now.

This made me laugh. It's Celtic. We might beat them, we might get a draw but they will probably beat us. Just cross your fingers that this is one of the times we get a result when we really need one. If you want a nice wee omen though I noticed that Celtic have dropped points against Aberdeen, Dundee, Hearts, Kilmarnock and otherselves in the first half of the season and in the second half of the season they have dropped points against Aberdeen, Dundee, Hearts and Kilmarnock.....could be a nice wee sequence there!

Could be tempting fate but Dundee have only won once away from home since last September - a 4-2 win a Partick Thistle. Meanwhile Hamilton haven't lost 3 games in a row in 2016 and have recent home draws against Celtic, Hearts and Dundee Utd. Ross County have lost 3 of their last 4 home matches 0-3 and have been in poor form generally since the turn of the year. Partick Thistle's away record is decent, on form you'd maybe put that one on your coupon for the Jags. Kilmarnock haven't won since February and only have two wins in 2016, scoring only 1 goal in the last 6 matches but they did beat St. Johnstone earlier in the season at Rugby Park. St. Johnstone had quite a poor away record until last time out when they beat Hearts 3-0 at Tynecastle - was it a one off or a change in form?

I hope we finish Top 6 and I hope we do it by beating Celtic, but it would be an unexpected bonus. This season was all about arresting a year and a half of substantial decline, keeping the club in the division and improving the standard of play. I want us to stay motivated, go into every match looking to win, keep professional standards up and so forth but in the long view it's Mission Achieved for 2015/16. I'll be disappointed of course if we are edged out on Saturday but there should be no major weeping and gnashing of teeth. I keep saying it but "please, a little perspective".

I think a lot of the pay at the gate types generally don't bother getting a ticket for these games. With something to play for in the match you might see more of a turn out.

Why limited ourselves to a point, why not cuff them? Celtic's away record ain't too smart. Dundee 0-0 Kilmarnock 1-0 Partick 2-1 Hamilton 1-1 Aberdeen 1-2 Dundee Utd 4-1 Hearts 2-2 Only team they beaten with style was Dundee Utd at their lowest ebb and they have dropped points against every Top 6 team on the run of fixtures. Get torn into them.
