It's crazy playing one game per week in relatively decent weather when we're scrapping to find dates at the tail-end of a season due to adverse weather. Playing a couple of games a week just now gets the players back up to speed quicker and gives us a fighting chance in Euro qualifications. We can always use the squad later on to rest players for Internationals, semis, finals etc.

That's a fair point, especially after the players have had a long pre-season due to the current situation and we have a big enough squad to be careful about non-contact injuries and strains.
I think we would normally be looking at CL qualifiers, during this past week or two and with that not finalized yet, it could have been more sensible to try look at that? - SPFL Sensible?! ha ha.
Possibly the SLY contract and their broadcasting priorities, determines the fixtures?

This is the only midweek free. We play Midweek/ Weekend the rest. That's if we qualify for Europe.
