Finished

Spot the difference.

Whatever the final table, we're now done.

Rangers have their trophy, Falkirk are relegated.

Spare a thought for Motherwell: anybody would think nine goals in the final two games would be enough to wrap up fourth place. Not quite.

Instead Hibs finally won a game to steal past Motherwell at the death.

I'll revisit my start of season predictions - and my laughable attempts to predict the outcomes of games - over the course of next week.

Our next big SPL fixture? Tomorrow. What will the clubs decide at their end of season gathering? Stay tuned.

Splitting feathers


A tale of two leagues.

Or the same league that just isn't really a league.

This is what I don't like about the SPL split. It's actually an affront to the very idea of a "league."

Imagine that Wednesday's 12 goal thriller piqued interest in the SPL elsewhere. So today people are looking out for SPL results and table: what do they see?

The team in seventh with more points than the team in sixth.

Are they going to take the time to find out that we have a split for the last five games? Or are they just going to come to the conclusion that we're all mental and run a mile?

All will be put right, of course, if Hearts beat Celtic tomorrow.
