A splitting good chance

Last updated : 02 April 2014 By Stuart Gillespie

The run starts this weekend with a home game against Motherwell and there's then a break of a week for the Scottish Cup. Premiership hostilities resume on April 19 when we are at home to a Hibs side who are struggling and in real danger of being dragged into the battle to avoid the relegation play-off. Hopefully we can pile on the missery.

On April 25 we head to Partick Thistle for some Friday night football. The atmosphere at Firhill should be fantastic with a big crowd expected. Those that can't make it will be able to enjoy the game on BBC Alba.

It's back to Greenhill Road on March 3 when we host Ross County and we go to Kilmarnock the following Wednesday. The regular season comes to an end on May 10 when we're at home to Hearts, a game that will be live on BT Sport. The Jambos will almost certainly be relegated by then but will be looking to send us into the play-offs as revenge for last week's League Cup final and our supposed lying down to Celtic that cost them the league in 1986.

It's a perfect run of fixtures. Three home games, all on Saturdays. The two away games are local so there isn't much travelling for fans. They're also the games that aren't at weekends so the impact is minimal.

No excuses Saints - let's put the previous problems this season behind us, get behind the team and produce the goods to ensure we don't need the play-offs to stay up.
