Swapping Livingston for Dundee United is the biggest shot in the arm for the Scottish Premiership since Motherwell’s playoff win in 2015. St Johnstone have a one-point lead over Ross County with four to play in the fight to avoid the Premiership playoff spot. Neither are in good form but at least County don’t have to cope with Craig Levein picking the team.
One of these two will face the winner of the Championship playoffs, either Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle or Airdrieonians. Airdrie have never been a shining light in the world but it’s their plastic pitch that would cause most regret – the potential ban will not be in place for next season, if it comes at all.
Raith, Partick and St Johnstone each have a support base comparable to Motherwell and should be able to contribute something to the topflight. This scenario is a lot better than two years ago, when the prospect of Arbroath missed the automatic promotion spot to the Premiership by two points.

Thoughts with Hamilton Tim and family.
AN TEARMANN
I was at both games. The replay was special. As you say, 2-1 flattered Rangers and they scored at the death.
Celtic were superb that night and Jinky made their heads spin. Great celebrations afterwards. I was 17 and still at school so hadn’t started drinking yet but the train from King’s Park to Motherwell was rockin.
This made me laugh……….
From Shorties glowin’ report on the Youthful Huns….
” A superbly taken penalty by Findlay Curtis brought the Ibrox side level after defender Timothy Akindileni had put Aberdeen ahead…”
I say well-played Findlay!
The young players can be very inconsistent. Celtic were the youth Cup holders but went out at the 3rd round (their round of entry) losing 1:0 at Montrose (???) .
Montrose lost to Thistle who lost to Ayr who lost to Aberdeen who lost to Sevco in the final.
SFTB – they still seem to git thur pennos…………..mibbe Tav’s giving advice?

Their pen was slightly dubious- a hard driven ball hit an Aberdeen defenders arm. The defender did move his arm but whether he was enlarging or trying to draw it in was debatable. The ref, surprisingly had no doubt.
