It would be a very Hibernian thing to do to win all five games of their post-split season when it doesn't matter a job.

And now that the pressure is off for them, back them to plunge Ross County deeper into the relegation mire at evens.

Nick Montgomery's men were outstanding against another relegation candidate in Perth last week when they outclassed St Johnstone in a win that was far more one-sided than the 3-1 scoreline suggested.

There's no doubt the capital side should have made the top six this season, but that's an argument for another day and they can win in the Highlands.

County went from the high of making history with their first-ever win against Rangers to slumping to a deserved defeat at bottom club Livingston.

They are better at home, but Hibs look stronger all over the pitch and can get the three points.

Annan Athletic only need a draw to secure safety in the huge game of the day in League One at Stirling Albion, but they can end the season in style at a big 2/1.

Both teams are level on points, but Annan have the better goal difference in the battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot.

Annan have drifted out to 2/1 because a draw is enough, but form would suggest they can win at a packed Forthbank.

They have lost just one out of their last nine games and that was against Hamilton Accies. Last week, they showed their grit with two late goals to snatch a point off champions Falkirk.

Stirling won last week at doomed Edinburgh City, but the hosts had to resort to putting their larger-than-life goalkeeping coach on as an outfield sub, so stretched were they for players.

Annan have won twice and drawn the other time against the Binos and can win again.

Falkirk have a date with destiny when they entertain Alloa on the final day of the season and they can score over 2.5 goals at 21/20 and become The Invincibles.

The Bairns sold out their home allocation of 7,500 by Wednesday and they just need to avoid defeat to become the only team in Britain to complete a season unbeaten – no mean feat.

But they have defensive issues with three key men out at the back and may decide that attack is the best form of defence.

They are six short of 100 goal for the season, they can score plenty here against an Alloa side with one eye on the playoffs next week.
