Only three positions in the top six can realistically change hands.

Celtic only need a draw from Saturday 's trip to face Dundee United to retain the title.

Rangers are all but guaranteed to finish second with their own 13 -point cushion.

Hibs , United and the Dons battle for third and European qualification spots.

No wonder Dundee are viewed by Opta as the most likely side to be caught should St Johnstone stage a late survival bid. That is an unlikely scenario, though, with Saints rated as 80.1% certainties to face automatic relegation. However, Simo Valakari's side have the third best record against bottom- six teams and have three of their five remaining games in Perth . Will it still come down to the final day , when Tayside rivals Dundee are the visitors to McDiarmid Park ?.
