"Tomas Magnusson's 88th-minute strike in Tuesday's Edinburgh derby at home to Hibernian added yet more veracity to a title charge that few would have found believable at the start of the season. It is not the first time this campaign when they have produced a moment of magic in the last few minutes, or even dying seconds, to fuel the fires of belief among their fans. It is the habit of champions."
"Boy did they need it after last week's defeat away to St Mirren and with both sides of the Old Firm improving since changing their managers. Defeat by Hibs would have given Rangers the chance to go top when they visit Motherwell on Tuesday. Instead, with just 12 games to go, McInnes' side, who have been out in front since September, are six points clear of Danny Rohl's Ibrox side as they face a difficult away trip to the side sitting fourth."
Heart of Midlothian won the Edinburgh derby with an 88th-minute goal by Tomas Magnusson, extending their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. The club has produced several late winners this season, including decisive strikes from Stuart Findlay, Alexandros Kyziridis and Craig Halkett, that have turned potential draws or defeats into victories. The win followed a recent defeat at St Mirren and arrived as both Celtic and Rangers showed improvement under new managers. With 12 games remaining Hearts sit six points clear of Rangers, while Celtic are a further three points behind Rangers and hold an extra game in hand.
