Dundee United's recent win over Celtic has left the team with a 10-point cushion over 11th place, likely extricating themselves from the relegation fight. Manager Jim Goodwin insists they have to keep believing, despite the unlikely scenario of sneaking into the top six. The team's victory has caused anxiety among fans of Dundee and Aberdeen, who are now part of a four-way fight to avoid the relegation play-off. Dundee United's win was a significant one, with Steven Pressley suggesting 38 points should be enough for Scottish Premiership safety this season. The team's performance has been marred by late goals conceded, but they remain hopeful of achieving a great feat if they can pull off the miraculous and sneak into the top six. The relegation battle is heating up, with Livingston 12 points adrift at the bottom. Aberdeen visit St Mirren next, while Dundee are at home to Celtic after the international break. St Mirren's last game before the split is against Celtic in Glasgow, making the upcoming fixtures crucial in determining the teams' fate. The imbalance of fixtures, with four of the bottom six having had one more home game and two having played one more away, adds another layer of complexity to the relegation battle. Former Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara notes that the teams have been brought into the relegation fight, making the upcoming games even more intense. The Scottish Premiership season is nearing its end, with seven games remaining, and the relegation battle is far from over. Dundee United's win has sparked hope, but the team must continue to perform well to secure their position. The relegation play-off is a daunting prospect, and the teams involved will be fighting hard to avoid it. With the stakes high, the upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining the fate of the teams involved.
