From Back Page about it, me going back there for the third time.
“We’ve earned the right to have Rangers at home for the second time.
“That’s part of the reward for getting promoted and getting into the top six.
“It’s one of these games the club would look for to have a full house so it would be unfair not to have that.
“I know these anomalies are thrown up when the top-six fixtures are thrown out sometimes.
“We wouldn’t have any fear of going back but it wouldn’t be ideal.
“I would rather play them at home from my own point of view at that point of the season.
“It could give teams around us an advantage and certainly it would give Rangers an advantage, which is what we don’t want at that stage of the season.
“It could make a massive difference to all of us.
“It could be important to Rangers if they’re going for the title, hypothetically speaking. I wonder what other clubs would make of that as well.
“It’s one of the games you probably budget for.
“Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, Rangers – the top four teams you would expect to get a huge crowd and it would be unfair for us to miss out on that having earned the right to be there.
“Others clubs would feel the same but I don’t really care about other clubs.
“I don’t see why any team should have to go and play anywhere three times when you play teams four times.
“But it’s just the way fixtures come out sometimes I suppose.
“If we do, we’ll have to suck it up and get on with it.
