Hope the Rangera fans give Stephen Thompson a good Sen off tomorrow which I'm pretty sure they will. Great servant to the club

Only if Raith Rovers make the play off final and win it, it’s a question whether their stadium is suitable or not.

The Falkirk stadium would not suddenly now fail to meet the stadium criteria when it met it for 5 years in the then SPL in the very same condition if it’s Falkirk who make the play off final and win it. If it was good enough for the SPL then, it’s clearly good enough for the Scottish Premiership now.

United can't be reprieved because as far as I'm aware the team who won the Championship have a suitable ground.

Only the team finishing 11th could now benefit from a stadium not being up to scratch (if they're beaten in the final by Raith).

Although I seriously doubt Raith wouldn't be able to have something in place. The Railway Stand just needs seats put in and they could build a Hamilton-esque tent next to the main stand if they still weren't at 6,000.

It's a moot point but there's literally no legroom in Raith's railway stand, it wasn't an issue when I was in it as everyone stood, but I'm 6 foot 3 and couldn't have sat there without my knees being in the back of the person in front. https://twitter.com/unlimitedricepd/...15779821268992

I hope Hibs win the playoffs as it would increase the value I get from my Hearts season ticket, but I realize it isn't happening.

But Hibs have had a really hectic schedule in the championship run in of midweek-weekend midweek-weekend midweek-weekend for several weeks and it will continue in the playoffs for 3 more weeks if they keep progressing, plus they’ve got the Scottish Cup final to play as well. It may well prove too much for them to cope to gain promotion.

We (The Sons) got the Railway Stand @ Starks last season, never noted any leg room issues. It also had a great view, from the bucket seats

Starks already holds 6,000+

ETA *in fact Starks actually seats 8,600 odd* 👍

I think it might work the other way in that playing regular games till the final will be a good thing rangers than rangers 3 weeks inactive .

Although I would not be shocked if hibs didn't get beyond raith

I can't see us beating Celtic for a 3rd time this season on Sunday as we have a bit of a problem up front.

Rooney and Church are both likely to miss the game. Goodwillie is out on loan, Shankland is back from his loan but not eligible to play. We have a 16 year old striker who played for the first team recently but he's away with Scotland u17's at the weekend. Guess it may be McGinn up front on his own.

I don't fancy Hibs for anything the way they've been months. Reckon Raith will take it

Well done Raith Rovers, on their day a very good footballing side this season, most focus has been on the Hibs/Falkirk battle. Hibs'll need to come out & attack now, could be ideal for Rovers to score on the break, and nick it @ Easter Road.

I'm winning a fortune off your tips, whatever you tip I bet the opposite. Keep it up. Maybe tip a wee Celtic win for next year?

Pointed out on the Wings Scotland blog, the Offensive Behaviour (Football) Act may now get punted, as there appears to be a majority against it in the new Parliament

To paraphrase Emperor Palpatine- "Let the hate flow through you"

They should get rid of it. The SNP won't hopefully just ram through a whole load of nonsense legislation this term and then claim it is somehow helping Scotland.
