Given where we were in the league a few weeks ago, it is great that we can now think about the possibility of reaching the play-offs.   Still an awful lot of work with steady improvement needed.  I suppose 2nd or 3rd are equally acceptable (given that we are unlikely to be 1st) to avoid playing the premiership club in the play -off 'semi'.

Onwards and upwards, starting with a good win at Falkirk on Saturday.

The premiership side get a bye to the playoff final. 

There is 1 QF - Champ 3 v Champ 4

1 SF - Champ 2 v QF Winner

Final - Prem 11 v SF Winner

So the only real advantage is to finish 2nd and have 2 less games

Thanks HtheG, I'd got that completely wrong.

I think that's a useful advantage!

We play Dundee Utd twice before the end of the season...that gap is close-able

We probably didn't think it at the start of the season, but (injuries and suspensions aside) we probably have the squad to get through a long play-off, with decent enough strike options in Bell/Oakley/Austin(?) and yes even Baird. Nice options on the wing with Doran and Mulraney, defensive strength, and not a bad looking midfield with Vigurs, Polworth, Chalmers and Trafford. (You can tell I'm also a CPFC fan ...relentless optimism!)
