Sadly I'm pretty sure if Celtic win the cup then the runners up get the UEFA place.
Also given our record v Well, ICT, County and Celtic this season I wouldn't be expecting much more than a handful of points.
Anyway United are shite and will be missing a good few players so no reason why we can't win on Sat, if not strangely there are far more attractive games in the bottom six and if we get on a winning run may well mean better crowds than we would have got for a visit of ICT or StJ.
