I was assuming the issue raised by the previous poster was with the choice of opposition in the first place.
The truth is that I don't think we won a league match after beating Celtic; we'd won the league and Challenge Cup the week before and, as far as the players were concerned, the season was done.
I took pelters for suggesting that Hibs going through to the play-off final was advantageous for us. In the event they got beat and approached the final with an energy and motivation that'd be lacking if they'd had an eye on that game.
