The Race For Third In The Scottish Premier 2021

The Race For Third In The Scottish Premier 2021.

It looks like Hibernian are still favourites to get third in the Scottish Premier this season, under their boss Jack Ross. -

Aberdeen are 3 points behind Hibernian. With Aberdeen having played one more game than Hibernian. 

If Aberdeen go on a good run then they could still take third place, which would be like winning the Non-Old Firm Title. Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers are in second an first at present. 

Aberdeen have had a good era since 2013 under McInnes. He has been runner-up in the league four times, and third placed once. 

I hope Aberdeen are patient with McInnes. As Hibs, Dundee United, and Hearts have been relegated and promoted in the last 10 years. So all three show that big clubs can do worse than finish fourth in the top tier. 

Aberdeen are getting used to a new tactical system having lost lots of key players in transfers. 

Hibernian have done superbly to rebuild to a force that can qualify for Europe. 

Livingston are 12 points behind Hibernian. So it is very unlikely they could finish in 3rd. Although if Aberdeen go on a bad run, then Livingston are still capable of overtaking Aberdeen. 

Perhaps if St Mirren, and St Johnstone go on incredible runs then even they could finish fourth. 

Thanks.
