No chance. Morton and Alloa will be going down. Hibs and ST Mirren to be promoted.

I would wait till after today's game too if hibs will go up. St Mirren are already relegated.

I want the Hibbees to do it as Irvine Welsh is the greatest wordsmith of all time.

I seen a clip there, and the stadium looked half empty, surprising considering how full ibrox was in the last game.

Hibs pressed for the first 25, similar to the 1st leg, but ultimately had no real cutting edge until the boy Cummings scored a nice goal too late. Can see Rangers beating Motherwell on current form. Vuckic, Miller & Clark look a cut above what the Well' have up front.

I believe Rangers only gave Hibs 950-1000 tickets for Ibrox, so in return gave Rangers 1200 for today's game. Away end looked less than half full. Bit daft really when you haven't sold out, probably done themselves out of revenue.

Other way round. Hibs were only giving Rangers a few so Rangers just gave Hibs the minimum.

At least Rangers filled the other seats. Today was just embarassing for Hibs. Huge game and over half a stand empty

There were 10000 empty seats at Ibrox the other night.

Other teams do it as well. Aberdeen and Celtic done it to each other this season.

Are you saying Celtic only had 37k for the home game against Inter Milan?



Go on, claim that as being true.

What were our attendances against Maribor and Inter.?

We doubled your allocation, you halved ours.

Surely Aberdeen only halved your allocation because of demand from their own fans?

Whereas Celtic, AFAIK, haven't had a home league sell-out all season. It does seem a bit tit-for-tat to not give Aberdeen an even bigger allocation - and the 'tat' did have some justification.

Bad luck to Hibs - but they must surely be favourites for the title next season. If you're prepared to stick it out, it's great to get your hands on that trophy. I discovered last year that it's the original pre-SPL top division trophy, so has loads of history engraved into it. But if they don't get up next season, it could be a long time before they're back. It's a nightmare of a league to escape from.

I have a horrible feeling that next season will be "business as usual" in the Premiership with the last three years forgotten.

4k empty seats the other week when we played them at Pittodrie.

Must have read it wrong somewhere.

Did Celtic knock back a request for more from AFC?

We've virtually sold out tomorrow, only 1,000 left for home end. Russell's 505th and final match for AFC.

The 4-0 game we doubled your normal allocation.

Celtic are only getting 1700 at Tynecastle next year as well, Hearts are selling season tickets in half of what was the away stand.

Distributed between different stands, though (segregation notwithstanding).

When the tickets went on sale, the game was potentially meaningful. Had the title still been up for grabs, it would have been absurd for Aberdeen fans to have been locked out of a home game in favour of fans of the title rivals.

We've been there before at Tynecastle. Romanov did the same when he was playing to the gallery.

A season of poor results and we got the full Roswburn again.

I agree about the home fans argument, just a pity that the Aberdeen support abandoned the game in droves instead of coming out to support their team. Happens everywhere though, I remember we had about 20k for a home league game against Hibs seasons back after the league was gone.

Only in Scotland, would a 41000 crowd, midweek, with the game on telly, be sneered at.
