Letting all fans back in: unfortunately the Board have no idea about The Rule of Holes

I've added a few images showing results and home vs away split for the top 6 and points won to date.

Hertz have had Hibs at home twice this season - no way they will get a 3rd

Easy solution is to give them their extra home game v Falkirk.

This shows up the inequality of the split as it currently works.

Hearts will have had 9 home and 6 away v the top 6. (3 homes v us & huns)

Huns will have had 7 home, 8 away (4 homes v Celtic & Hearts)

Celtic 8 home, 7 away ( 4 away v Hearts & Huns)

Motherwell 8 home, 7 away.

Hearts have had a much more favourable run of fixtures - nobody is talking about that.

I better correct that. Thought the last one was at Easter Road, but you're spot on. It was at Tynecastle and they won't do Hibs at Tynie 3 times. Good spot.

Looks like Falkirk may be the team that is used to balance it. They will get an extra home game v us and away v Hearts - again a benefit to Hearts over the course of the season.

Hearts have almost the easiest season possible, playing only one more match than the bare minimum possible.

No Europe, both Glasgow teams sack a manager (never happened before), out of the Scottish Cup at the first hurdle and only got to the second round of the League Cup.

That’s true but that simply casts a bigger shadow over the Celtic executive team and the Board who failed to provide an adequate squad to cope with the games we have to cope with. Even with a final chance to address the problem in January they failed miserably waiting for the end of window landing us with 4 loans and a freebie who look unlikely to trouble the team sheet very often. Whether we win the league or not this cannot be forgotten and cannot be allowed to happen again.

This....

The vast majority of our failing this season are self made and the outcome of this season, good or bad, shouldn't protect those within who have failed.

Can't disagree with that.

Celtic have massively underachieved this season.

Last home game will pan out who ever is top will be at home, probably hearts, might go down to whos second v us and "them" who also at home. Hibs will he away which probably brings in the possibility of them being in Glasgow on the final day.

I'm willing to bet that the last day is Motherwell v Celtic and Hearts v Sevco.

That way either of them can lie down as appropriate to stop us winning the league.
