This league season is shaping up to be quite different from our first two seaons in the top tier.
In each of these seasons there were a group of teams who were so hopeless that they became detached from the body of the league leaving middle ranking clubs like ourselves battling it out in a zone roughly between fifth and ninth place.
This year, apart from the top three, there is very little to separate the other teams in the league with any one of the nine potentiall capable of finishing anywhere between fourth and rock bottom. Despite our recent run of results we are, after all, only six points ahead of the bottom club.
This is shaping up to be a very exciting league indeeed with every single match crucial.
Back to back wins against Falkirk and St Mirren could put us in pole position for fourth place and potentially a UEFA Cup slot whereas consecutive defeats will drag us right down into the relegation battle. Interesting weeks ahead.
