Based on my Facebook feed looks like the media(?) ramping up JBA for Celtic next season. 
Living here, in the land of conspiracy theories, I’m immediately thinking this is a ploy to unsettle our players for the run in to the league championship. 😡

If JBA wants the Celtic job or any other big move, he knows the best way to get it would be to win the league, or take us as close to the top as possible. He looks and sounds pretty single minded to me, and the players have that cut about them too. They've been like a machine the past few weeks, while others have faltered.

The only way the Scottish media can generate clicks (or shift newspapers for the old school readers) is to mention the OF every day with a new story. 

Anyone who has any success is immediately linked to one of the Uglies. The only quotes you will see, if any, is some ex-player saying it's a good idea, and they will frame a headline as "JBA to Celtic"

The entire Scottish media had Lennon Miller heading to Glasgow every day for the second half of last season. 

 

EDIT: Also, ditch Facebook. You'll thank me later.

It is getting exciting and sll we vsn do is look after ourselves.  Our run in before split is tricky.  We will see where we are once post split fixtures start

HOME.   Dundee Utd

AWAY.   Dundee

AWAY.   Celtic

HOME.    Hibs

HOME.  Falkirk

AWAY.  Hearts

I think realistically we need 4 wins and 2 draws to mount any serious challenge

You're more optimistic than me. I think we need 6 wins.

We only got 18 home games last season, ie 2 home games after split.

We should be getting 19 homes games this season, i.e. 3 games after split.

Would be totally unfair to penalise us two seasons in a row.

You're not wrong.

Unfortunately, the first phase fixtures are based on guessing who will be in the top 6, and there is no way they predicted ourselves and Falkirk would be there.

Add to that the finagling they will need to do to try and prevent cries of bias amongst the title challengers, and we could easil end up with 18 again.

That all depends how it works out after the schedule has been manipulated to ensure the ugly sisters get a 19/19 split as usual, unfair is not a concept the SPFL recognise

Will 2 at home and 3 away not give us 19 home and away over the season?

We have (will have) played:

Rangers, Falkirk, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen & Dundee Utd at home times two, (12 games) and,

Dundee, Celtic, Hearts, Livingstone & St. Mirren once (5 games) = 17 home, 16 away.
