00:00Because not only would Hartz have to go on a tear, Hibbs would have to collapse and you

00:05would have to outperform Aberdeen and Dundee United. So there's just too many variables

00:12to make it a realistic proposition.

00:14Yeah, I would say so. I definitely think that for this year, I think third is probably just

00:19a step too far for Hartz. I don't think they've been consistent enough over the season to

00:24get in there. You're then looking at fourth. I think given where Hartz were, if they were

00:29to finish fourth, and that's still not easy, but if they were to get fourth place, I think

00:33you would look at that as certainly a good recovery. So at the moment, I think most people

00:40would probably accept that. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, Hartz should be

00:44finishing third because that's the target and there's so much money that's getting ploughed

00:48in there. That's always been the aim for them in the last few years.

00:53Of course, like we talk about the cup final, if Hartz don't get in the top six, third's

00:57gone regardless of the points difference. But you worry sort of maybe putting all their

01:03eggs into the Scottish Cup basket if they beat Aberdeen and then they've got the final.

01:07But they're the same distance away from third as they are from 11th now. And cautious not

01:12to say anything, but it would be a surprise to everyone now if St. Johnstone don't finish

01:18bottom.
