Some such as Dundee United and Motherwell are in better positions than others but the list of permutations is incredible as we head into the final game before the split.

That's just how it is around here and teams as far down as fifth could get a Europa Conference league spot depending on how the Scottish Cup goes so there really is so much on the line next weekend.
