After the 1st round of games post split, Rangers defeat to Motherwell means Hearts now lead Celtic by 3 point with a better GD.

Hearts host Rangers on Monday knowing a home win will essentially end Rangers title hopes leaving Rangers only realistic target being to stop Celtic catching Hearts when they meet in the Old Firm.

Have just noticed that Celtic are "lucky" and have both Rangers and Hearts at home - which I know is just a quirk as they played twice away to both in the pre-split games but could be key by the end.

I believe this is termed, LIMBS.

Lots of great stories end of this season, hope Hearts are another. Rangers at Tynecastle next week, where Hearts are unbeaten all season.

But the rules state that they will do all they can to ensure sides play twice home/away - Celtic have only hosted Hearts & Rangers once, so under the rules they get to host them again. Would be a bigger issue, if say Hearts won the league having hosted Celtic 3 times to their once.

We could also end up in a situation where Celtic host Hearts on the final day and are out of the title race but Rangers are still in it. What money would you get for an away win that day if Celtic know them winning would hand the title to Rangers?

Hearts really could do it after beating rangers, 3 points ahead, 3 to play. GD 5 better than Celtic, you would think 2 wins away to Motherwell and Home to Falkirk will do it.
Away to Celtic on the last day.

That's Rangers out of it.

Hearts' run-in: Motherwell (A); Falkirk (H); Celtic (A)
Celtic's run-in: Rangers (H); Motherwell (A); Hearts (H)

It really is there for them now.

Celtic have only been kept in it by the really really lucky last minute goals they scored a few times

Everyone wants a team outside of Glasgow to win it with the exception of the old firm.

I don’t know, I think Rangers fans wouldn’t mind if Hearts won it.

I don't think they would now. Obviously Rangers fans would want Rangers to win the league if that was still possible.

I think Hibs would probably prefer it not be Hearts as the ones to do it.

Wow. Is that a recent picture? He's got better looking.

So if Hearts go to Motherwell and win on Saturday night then a Rangers win in the Old Firm game on Sunday will all but hand them the title.

[Dirk Gently]

Just a draw with Rangers would leave Hearts just 2 points off the title, from 2 games (albeit one vs Celtic).

[From Despair To Where?]

I know Rangers are pretty much out of it but it's ironic that the only permutation that would allow them to win it requires a Celtic win on the final day

Oh, and 18 months ago, I said this after Kilmarnock beat Rangers. Rangers have had 2 managers since then, 3 if you include Barry Ferguson's 3 months as caretaker

That's the sort of performance that could get Derek McInnes the job at Ibrox. Kilmarnock have had a poor start to the season, mainly because of their European excursions, which started in July but they're now 5 unbeaten having lost their first 3 fixtures (two of which were Celtic and Aberdeen).

They are usually hard to beat, lacking only a decent goalscorer, and play good football.

To be fair, that's didn't take any great insight.
