It also opens up the chance of Celtic winning the title against Rangers. 15pts between Celtic and Aberdeen with 5 games to the split. In the unlikely scenario that Aberdeen manage to match Celtics results until then, it would be the first game after the split which would see them crowned

This is the most wrong a post has ever been.

I posted this on the match thread as well but it probably belongs here
Edinburgh City's late winner means that three Edinburgh sides won for the first weekend since  Meadowbank Thistle "died" or "moved to Livingston" in 1995.
 
The Fife Flyers can't be looking forward to their trip to Murrayfield tonight

Fifers never look forward to leaving their Hobbit holes in the Shire[emoji6]

There's 25 points between Celtic and Aberdeen.

I not gud at mafs

If  Hearts can get a win at Pittodrie next Saturday (stop laughing at the back) then Celtic can win the league with a win at Dens park on Sunday

If Celtic match Aberdeens Result this weekend then a Friday night defeat on the 31st at Dens for Aberdeen would hand Celtic the title

It looks most likely that Celtic will get the chance to win the league at Tynecastle on Sunday the 2nd

If Celtic lose their next 9 and Aberdeen win theirs then we could have a winner takes all showdown at Pittodrie on final day

Most likely outcome, IMO.

I never like the "since 1998" or "since 2013" approach - it's only the name over the door that changed.

All-time or since 1975, IMO.

Yes, the only reason it's given as since 1998 or 2013 is probably to involve more players from recent times.  There were some great goalscorers in the 1975-1998 period who probably stayed in the Scottish leagues for far longer,  and I would imagine forced many of the more recent ones off the chart.

The list of leading Premiership era goalscorers is as follows:

1. Leigh Griffiths (60)
2. Adam Rooney (55)
3. Kris Doolan (43)
4. Billy Mckay (42)
5. Kris Commons (41)
6. Liam Boyce (39)
7. Niall McGinn (37)
8. John Sutton (36)
9. Kris Boyd (34)
10. Steven MacLean (31)
 

Thats quite a spread of clubs represented there.. you wonder how high up the list players like Stevie May, Greg Stewart and Kane Hemmings could have got.  It seems far less likely that players will make an impact on the since-1975 Scottish scoring chart, as any player who has an eye for goal is snapped up by an English lower league side pretty quickly these days.

Basically, if you want a reliable steady stream of goals from a player for a few seasons, go for a 'mature' player age wise/ or one who has already had a crack at it down south.

Kris Boyd has managed to strike the balance of being good enough to score quite a lot of goals but shit enough that he's ended up spending the bulk of his career in Scotland

To be fair he played for the best team in Scottish football, he fucked it for himself when he left for rangers (RIP) though

A win against Hamilton next Saturday will see Saint Johnstone secure top 6 football again


Could be a lot happening in the next round of fixtures. Caley Hamilton and Motherwell could all be condemned to the bottom 6. The dons could seal a top 5 finish. Saints and hearts can seal top 6.

ICT and Accies are unable to make top six due to Particks win today.

St Johnstone are guaranteed top six.

 

A win for Hearts tomorrow will confirm their place amongst the countries elite.

With a 30 point advantage in goal difference and 21 in goals scored I think a draw against Celtic would be sufficient.

Not mathematically though ;)
