The Play Offs / Championship next season?


Recommended Posts

With the Pars interest in mid table mediocrity nearly over for this season the question is who are we likely to face in the Championship next season. Clearly Dundee Utd will return to the Premiership and Arbroath will drop into the first division with Falkirk will eventually rejoin the championship. As for the relegation play off it will be down to Queens Park or Inverness with a single point between them its all to play for. Queens Park probably have the better recent form so carry a slight advantage. That will leave Inverness to face the play offs and will likely face strong favourites Hamilton. Alloa and Montrose are also in contention. At the other end of the Championship play offs, Raith Rovers have the advantage but their form is stuttering atm. Partick are in with a decent shout. But its Airdrie who have the recent form to cause problems. Who they are likely to face from the Premiership is still to be decided. Livingstone look pretty much doomed in the automatic relegation spot. Only a single point separate St Johnston or Ross County and its probably too close to call. The outcome if the Pars can positively take advantage in the transfer market may leave a Pars in a strong position and possible be a strong contender for next season. Livingstone will benefit for a large parachute payment, but I think they are a club in a decline and wont carry the same threat as Dundee Utd

Not sure if Raith or Partick will be able to beat the SPFL team to go up. Predict the same Championship new season, with Livingston, Falkirk and ICT staying up. If we could only get a finisher like Graham to add to next season.

I watched St Johnstone V Dundee a few weeks back and thought St Johnstone were poor. Not ideas going forward just hopeful balls forward to their fast striker. Craig Levien written all over them. Airdrie have beaten them in a one off this season too, so I think it might be closer than some think. 

If it's Ross County, I think they will win. They have experience from last year in this situation and their current form is better than St Johnstone.

Its Hamilton v Inverness to earn their place into the Championship. Still a lot to be decided in terms of the promotion play offs with the outcome between Raith and Partick to be decided and who they will play. With Livi down its looking like St Johnstone will be the fav for the play off place.

St Johnstone v Ross County on Wednesday evening, with a County win consigning Saints to the play-offs.

Any other result takes it to the final matches - County at home to Aberdeen, Saints at home to Motherwell.

Final score was St Johnstone 1 Ross County 1 still all to play for with RC ahead by only two points

Hamilton 2 ICT 1 Still all to play for as is the 2nd leg between Partick and Raith

Pretty sure County also have a much better goal difference so may only need a point in the last game
