So far this season: ICT to win Scottish Cup - 50/1 - FAIL ICT to win League Cup - 50/1 - FAIL Rooney Top Scorer (Each/Way) 1-2-3 - 50/1 - NOT LOOKING GOOD as his scoring exploits have taken a dip in 2011 ICT to win SPL (Each/Way) (+48pt) - 1-2-3 - 9/1 - LAST REAL HOPE but need more points Just realised that not making the top 6 may resurrect my punts this season on ICT....

As they say the big woman is not quite singing yet but she is warming up.... Three points on Saturday is a must if we are to have any chance of making the top 6 and I think we can do it - then it only leaves those two easy home games to get out of the way I see even Rooney has dropped off the SPL goalscorers table on the BBC site for the first time in a long while - we could do with him being back on it come Saturday evening....

4 points from 9 in February, 3 points from 9 in March (P6 - W2 D1 L3 - 7 points from 18) but still in the hunt for 6th place. So how many of the last nine points will we need to make it? I think we will probably need 6 points from the 9 available if we are to have a realistic chance of making the top 6 - but could be as few as 5. A big ask but the type of challenge the players should be relishing. Personally I still can't quite believe we still have a chance to make the top 6 but it is good for the final pre-split games that the SPL still has 5 teams with a chance of grabbing that last position. Anything from today's game is a bonus but I do believe we can take full points from Killie and Hearts in the last two games. It will be great for the club if we can go into the last home game before the split against Hearts meaning a victory would seal it....here's hoping.... February St.Mirren (A) 3-3 D St.Johnstone (H) 2-0 W Hibs (A) 2-0 L March Dundee United (H) 0-2 L Motherwell (H) 3-0 W Dundee Utd (A) 1-0 L April Celtic (H) Kilmarnock (A) Hearts (H)

Livingston v Brechin DRAW @ 3.75 - ta

A 6-0 victory and a booking in first game - he'll do fine....

Livi Away @ 1.80 - ta

If he gets his move back to the SPL good luck to him. Didn't fancy him much myself either based on his ICT performances but it shows what you can do with a little bit of determination and more than a little bit of skill.
