I'm in the same boat as long as Celtic beat Hibs we should be fine for 4th but I don't see us winning any of the final 3 games. We might draw 1 but we looked on the beach.

Today was always going to be a huge mountain to climb for us and the result shouldn't have surprised anyone. Once again McGlynn has got the the better of JBA. It was possibly the hardest of our remaining 4 games. 

I think we're on the beach for several reasons and its up to Hibs now how much they want that 4th spot. If we can avoid hammerings in our next 2 games, I'll happily go Easter Road for the final game 3 points ahead of Hibs and not care about the result.

To be fair I can't imagine any player is particularly motivated while playing for 4th and being out the cups. Falkirk are desperate to get into Europe and quite clearly wanted it more than us. I think unless Hibs beat one of the OF they won't pick up the 7 points they need to overtake us.

Sick of the sight of Falkirk, but they're out the road now and we live to fight another day. A fair few clubs have had a worse weekend than us. Hopefully, Hibs join that list tomorrow.

If Hibs beat Falkirk and us and take one point off the gruesome twosome that would be enough. In the short term, they'll want to preserve their Euro spot by burying Falkirk.

Watching the game I thought that we had a decent shout - by the standards that have been set against us by the referees and VAR - for a penalty against SOD but it wasn’t even show, never mind discussed on Sportscene.

Aye but if we take ponts from hearts and celik or even a win then its all academic. To put it simply its all in our hands and at this stage of season you can't ask for much more than that.

Do hibs not have two players suspended for Celtic game as well.
