Doing some math here -- everyone stand back 
To me, it doesn't look like Sevco has any route whatsoever to first place in the standings, period.
After Sunday, we only have two games left, as does Sevco.
If we win both and beat Sevco on Sunday, and Sevco wins none to finish the season, then we end the season 19 up. Best scenario.
If we win one of the two and beat Sevco, which wins none going forward, we end with a 16-point lead.
If we win neither game and beat Sevco on Sunday, and Sevco wins both games, we end with a 7-point lead.
If we lose all games, including Sunday (God forbid!), and Sevco wins all remaining games, we end up with a 1-point lead.
If we beat Sevco on Sunday and win one of the remaining two games, and Sevco wins their remaining two games, we end up with a 10-point lead.
I didn't factor in draws. You're welcome.
Or am I doing this wrong?

Not my best subject, no. But do I have that right, at 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, none for a loss, multiplied by two games left in the standings (not counting the Cup game vs Aberdeen later next month)?
My question/point is: Is our lead in the table unapproachable, even with the worst-case scenario?

Scottish football is backwards in more ways than one, Larry.
Our governing body thought it would be a great idea to have a "split" after three rounds of matches.
The top 6 and bottom 6 play each other a further time which takes the season total to 38 matches.
There have been seasons where the clubs in 7th and 8th place have had more points than the team who finished 6th???

Oh.
So . . . there are more games after Livingston on April 6 (not counting the Scottish Cup game)?

Yeah, a further five against the other sides who finish top 6.
There have also been seasons where we've had to play sides three times away from Celtic Park to balance out the home and away games per season. It's completely nuts and makes no sense whatsoever.

Welcome to the madcap World of Scottish football, Larry. It makes the trump administration look like a well-oiled machine.
I'm sure the SPFL are drawing up plans to nuke North Korea as we speak. They'd love to nuke Parkhead first, right enough.

They're shite, B. Absolutely rank rotten.
We've won this league in first gear. With the benefit of hindsight, I think we've just been trying to make it interesting.
Just blitz them back to the coffin on Sunday and let's be done with them. They're boring me now with their drivel.

It should have been won at a canter if it wasn't for the dreadful way we started but I wonder how many points we should be in front.

Easily 20, B, and we've done that with an injury list that could make another team. A manager whose head was in the clouds, and referees that would make Satan blush.
And we've still only really turned up for five or six games this season, and one of them was in Europe against Leipzig.

Aye it's similar to my reasoning that we'll be 17-20pts ahead come the end of the season HH

The thing is, B - if squinty really wants shot of slippy, then a proper doing on Sunday is exactly what he needs.
Unleash the media hacks on Monday and in the words of Katrina and The Waves, it's: "goin down to Liverpool to do nothin"
