shull Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 With this wonderful Manager & Squad, I was thinking a Third Top finish. Realistically though, a Fourth place is achievable. I can see us winning all matches in February. We are back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I said top 6 at the start of the season and I've not wavered from that all season. Even when we were bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Still arithmetically can win the league- should be our goal imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Taking into account other factors best we could achieve would be third, more possible would be 5th but I'd bite your hand off for 6th now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Earlier in the season we were totally shite, and we could be again. We need to build on the last 2 results. Keep working hard, and with a bit of luck top 5 might not be beyond us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 6th.

We beat Perth at home right enough.The Hibs thing just gets to me a bit. That former player and manager connection winds me right up. If it wasn’t for those two losses we’d be challenging for Europe.Speaking to a Celtic supporting friend of mine earlier and he said that he used to think Jack Ross would be their next manager. But now he’s looking at former Celtic player Jim Goodwin.Not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like nothing less than to see Hibs season disintegrate in a similar fashion to Celtic starting on Tuesday and wipe that smug look of Ross's face.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Whether we can or can’t remains to be seen, but if we can finish 5th and one of the top 4 wins the cup, this is what we’d be qualifying for. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_Conference_League If I’m reading it right, it sound like you’re straight into a group stage. If we were to win the Cup it would be Europa League proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I read that as referring to the Europa League Group stages not the conference group stages. "No teams will qualify directly to the group stage, with 10 teams eliminated in the Europa League play-offs and the rest coming from the Europa Conference League qualifiers."I read it as 10 teams will "qualify" for group stage by being eliminated from EL qualifiers and the rest via EUCL knockout stage.
