After a 2-0 win over St Mirren, Hibs head coach David Gray was still preferring to look up at catching Motherwell in the fourth spot that would guarantee European football.
“All we can do is take care of ourselves,” Gray said. “We’ve moved three points closer to Motherwell – I know they play tomorrow and they’ve got another game in hand.”
United boss Jim Goodwin knows there’s a challenge ahead but still firmly believes a top-six place is achievable for his side.
“We all understood the importance of the game,” he said after his side’s vital away win.
“We’ve closed the gap on Falkirk by three points and we’ve a couple of games in hand on them.
“If we can go and perform like that – on the offensive front – in weeks to come, then we give ourselves a good chance of continuing this fight for top six.
“Albeit we’ve given ourselves a mountain to climb, we won’t stop trying.”
At Aberdeen, where Peter Leven all but confirmed he would be in place as interim manager until the end of the season, he made his target clear for his time in charge.
“Top six is still possible,” he said. “That’s what we’ve got to aim for. The last time I took over, we went on a good unbeaten run, so I’m hoping to get that form back.”
