Motherwell v CELTIC match thread

From the horses mouth so to speak. below is what can happen, depending on who makes up the last of the top 6.

As things stand, Rangers are scheduled to be away to Celtic, Hearts, Motherwell and Hibs with an Ibrox clash against Dundee United.

It’s the reverse for Celtic would be at home against the Light Blues, the Jambos, the Steelmen and Shaun Maloney’s side – with a trip to Tannadice.

So right there, one of Rangers’ away games will have to reversed and similarly Celtic will lose a Parkhead fixture.


However, it gets worse for the SPFL if either Aberdeen or Livingston finish above United in sixth place.

Rangers will have played both sides at home twice – Celtic away twice.

So that means two of Rangers ‘away’ games would be switched and Celtic would lose two ‘home’ games.

The question is, which games will the governing body choose with the title winners virtually certain to go straight into the Champions League group stage and land that game-changing fortune?

There is no chance the beaks will schedule a third Old Firm game at Ibrox – and they almost certainly won’t mess with the Hearts fixtures either.

hey are liable to look at teams five and six – i.e. Hibs and potentially Aberdeen or Livi.

So Rangers could get a third Ibrox visit from these sides and Celtic would have to go to Easter Road again and either Pittodrie or the Tony Macaroni – a place where they lost earlier in the season.

The SPFL recommendations state: “We generally aim for the fewest switches possible and try to avoid reversing fixtures that have a key impact on the league title, the race for Europe and the battle to avoid relegation.

“But this is not always possible. We avoid reversing the big city derby matches and also consider what has happened with the post-split fixtures in previous years.”

With this title race looking like it’s going to the wire, major decisions loom off the pitch as well.
That's why folk should keep an eye on livis results and favours there getting from refs they've been sevcos dunfermline for 2 seasons a points banker, and the gorgie fkrs will help out along the way
 
Did think wed score 3 or 4 tonight didnt see us conceding 2 from such a commanding position and that shows were still not over the line at 2 up , in Europe weve seen it cost us dearly but were good enough to pick it back up domestically , Ange will be happy with the points but not the ending , we win move on we never stop HH
