Do Hearts Hold The Key To Top Three?

10 games remain so Ive been looking at the games to go.

 

First of all wanted to know what the form is like so I went back 10 games - which takes us to Christmas

 

Celtic Played 10 Points 21 GD +17

Aberdeen Played 10 Pts 21 GD 7

Hearts Played 9 pts 18 GD 12

 

So not a lot of difference in form between the top 3

 

Outside the top 3 Pre split we play Partick Away, Motherwell away, killie at home and Hamilton at home

Strangely Celtic also play Partick away and motherwell away with Killie away and Dundee away

 

There is little between us and celtic in terms of fixtures

 

before the split we play hearts away Celtic at home, all things being equal we should see the reverse post split. We should also have a game at celtic

 

Hearts will play both Aberdeen and Celtic home and away in the next 10 games and we play celtic away. That means in the next round of 10 fixtures 5 of the matchdays will involve the top 3 playing each other one way or another

 

So my question - with 4 games against their top 3 rivals - do Hearts hold the key to the top 3 places?

If Hearts can do us a favour by taking points off Celtic then great. Other than that I'm only interested in Aberdeen and Celtic's results. While it pays to be cautious, I don't think we'll lose too much sleep looking over our shoulder at Hearts.

 

The word is however (unconfirmed) that our post-split game against Hearts will be away from home.

How anyone can know even unconfirmed what the post spilt fixture will be when we have ZERO idea of half of the teams I don't know........I would even be surprised if there isn't a play off to decide.

 

Strangely given that there have been 3 games it would be at a neutral venue

The disposition of the post split fixtures would be simple if the top six were the same as last year. While five of the six could be there at least one will certainly not.

The only unbreakable rule that was in place was that the old firm must play each other home and away twice. (The idea of one of them not being in the top 6 was not a consideration).

Memory tells me that Aberdeen played three league games at Celtic park in one season and have also played 18 home games and 20 away one season.

Given this is out of the question for our post split game against Celtic to be at home?

We'll get 3 at home

We'll get 2 away - one of which will be Celtic.

 

THERE IS NO CHANCE THEY WILL MESS WITH THAT

 

Likely would be:

 

Hearts, County, Dundee (SWITCHED TO BALANCE 2014/15) at home

St Johnstone and Celtic away

 

 

Celtic should go to Tynecastle so that would pose an interesting fixture - last day of the season please.

I don't think Hearts hold the key to anything.

Correct, we three have to play each other twice in the coming weeks, we also have a game in hand, Sneckie at theirs.

The last 8 days before the split will be baw jangling and it won't be long in coming round.

I think the Sheep game tickets are on sale already, I'll check later.

Are you getting 1,500?

 

Ediit, aye they are, the home briefs anyway.

I don't really see Hearts taking points of Celtic at the moment, somehow they'll bottle it.

 

They will however steamroll right over us and cause us some problems I think.

 

From what I've seen we don't cope so well with organised and also physically larger/stronger teams like Hearts, ICT.

They are unbeaten by them this season but I think that will change next game. I think Hearts will beat them at the piggery.

 

I really hope st johnstone finish bottom 6 as I personally can't be bothered watching them again.

Same applies to Caley (& that cunt Hughes)

Don't think it's just Hearts, all the folk who don't like Celtic will be busting a gut to make sure they don't win the league, but let's not kid ourselves these blue tinged erses certainly don't want us winning it either

Both us & Celtic are facing relegation/play off threatened teams. There will be zero favours towards either of us from any of them.

It's 100% up to us & the tims.

True enough, but there's plenty of factors going to be involved so don't think anyone is wrong really..........except Jigot, he's a Jambo (nice or not lol)
