"On a cold Tuesday evening, with 87 minutes of the Edinburgh derby gone, it seemed the Scottish Premiership title momentum was about to jolt towards Glasgow. But then Tomas Magnusson popped up in the Hibernian box to knock in a late winner for leaders Hearts. As Tynecastle rocked, the reverberations were felt far west. The Gorgie side has restored their advantage to a full six points before their title rivals played. The standard had been set. Keep up if you can."
"With 90 minutes played at Parkhead, there was a shock on the cards. Livingston, a side without a win in 23 games and who've just changed manager, were about to hold Celtic to a draw. Up stepped Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, curling in a winner from the edge of the box, on his Celtic debut. His first goal in any game of football for 14 months, and the first time he'd stepped on a pitch since May 2025."
"Over in North Lanarkshire, it seemed more simple for Rangers. A goal to the good thanks to Nico Raskin's early strike, they also had a man advantage after Lukas Fadinger's red card. It seemed they had answered the challenge laid down to them by Hearts, only for Motherwell defender Stephen Welsh to lash home a late equaliser that Danny Rohl's side could not respond to."
Hearts moved six points clear after Tomas Magnusson scored a late winner against Hibernian in the Edinburgh derby. Celtic won with a late Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain strike on his debut, his first goal in 14 months and first match since May 2025, leaving Celtic third but with a game in hand and one point behind Rangers. Rangers were held 1-1 at Motherwell after Nico Raskin opened the scoring and Lukas Fadinger was sent off, with Stephen Welsh lashing home a late equaliser. Motherwell sit fourth, close behind the top three. The results tighten the title race and set a demanding standard for rivals.
