Playoff Dates : Fri Jul 31, 2009 6:53 am  

Now i'm not counting my Chickens here, but does anyone know when the playoff dates start, is it the week after our last game of the season which is at home to Celtic on Sunday 13th September.

Just in case we do make them

Below is the format:

Elimination play-off two - 6th v 7th (loser goes out)
