Motherwell v Hearts 09/5/2026

[Kmcalpin]

We are stumbling towards the finishing line, and I'm not overly bothered how we get there. It would be satisfying to do it under our own steam but I'd be equally happy if Hibs hibs it for us. That said, it would be great to get a point or three in front of our own fans.

We just have to make sure we beat Hearts at home on Saturday night, then we can relax and the Celtic and Hibs games shouldn’t matter a jot.

We can’t finish sixth, so top 5 is assured.

In theory we could but thats extremely unlikely. For that to happen, Falkirk would need to win their 3 remaining games; we'd need to lose all 3 heavily; and Hibs would need to rack up large wins over us and Sevco. 

Its not going to happen.

Correct, if Hibs lose 1-0 to Falkirk then 2 3-0 wins for them and two 3-0 defeats for us takes it to goals scored.

Be interesting to see what happens today. Doubt there's any 'right' result for us (though the Ibrox meltdown, should they lose, would be highly entertaining). The pressure will be on Hearts next week, whatever happens. A kicking match where they pick up a red card or two and some key game-out injuries would suit us fine, right enough.

Yep! Result has no direct effect on where we will finish. 
indirectly it Might affect either teams attitude in the last three games or injury/discipline might cause player to loss games

Ohhhh. MJC won't be happy with you talking like that about his big team.

I'll opt for a Sevco win. That would dent Hearts' confidence before Saturday.

I think regardless of their result today, our game is a banker for a draw.

Hearts are making rangers look good. They are playing terrible. I think they are  too tense amd nervous.

Hearts have been bloody awful. They look paralysed by pressure and they've spent those 45 mins blootering the ball as far away from their goal as they can.
