We definitely are in a relegation battle. If we lose the Ross County game we are four points off the bottom. We may actually find ourselves not missing top six by much but still having to work hard to avoid 11th or even 12th. The way the fixtures work in this league means every non city team has the chance to go on a run (as Ross County have a few times) or fall into 11th/12th.
If you look at out remaining fixtures in blocks of three they don't look favourable to us..... County H, Hearts A, Hibs A. We will do well to take three points from this. 1 or zero and we are looking at changing the mangaer. Partick H, St Johnstone H, Kilmarnock H These games make or break our season. Dundee A Aberdeen H Accies A Three teams we have beaten this season but extremely difficult games. Celtic H Rangers H St Johnstone A A nightmare run to take us into the split.
We have averted disaster in the playoffs and last season against Accies and Killie. However we haven't halted our decline which has been constant since the summer of 2013. Over the last 59 games we have picked up 4 more points than a team managed by Martin Canning on a shoestring budget.
