The 5 factors Hearts and Aberdeen will do battle for in box office bout for third place - Ryan Stevenson

Barry Robson reckons all the pressure is on Hearts on Saturday. But I’ll tell you what; if the Jambos can use that tension to focus their game and send Robson and Aberdeen back up the road empty handed then it’ll be the Dons whose legs might just get that bit heavier going into the final two matches.

This is a red letter day in the battle for third place. And that letter is P - for pressure, pounds, prizes, pride and psychology.

It’s what the race to be best of the rest - and the extra millions that comes with that - should be all about. It’s great for the Scottish game and I can understand Robson’s gamesmanship but it might actually suit Hearts on Saturday knowing they have to win.

I’m a big fan of Barry. I played against him two decades ago when he was at Caley Thistle and thought he was a right good player then.
