This weekend sees the “split” fixtures commence in the topflight in Scotland.
It has been a tumultuous season given the changes in management in Glasgow, the influence of Tony Bloom to Heart of Midlothian, and the unexpected coherence of a new style Motherwell and a newly promoted Falkirk. Hibernian have continued to be quietly effective under David Gray.

That leaves an under resourced Livingston cast adrift, a Dundee United side stagnating under Jim Goodwin, and the league’s “Basket Case” champions, Aberdeen.
