"It is all getting tighter at the top of the Scottish Premiership, with all five teams narrowing the gap with Heart of Midlothian after the leaders lost to Aberdeen. Has Hearts' bubble burst, are Celtic and Rangers fans any happier after their respective victories and what do the fans of sides being left behind in the bottom six think about it?"
"Alan: This result and performance more or less confirms that Hearts are not going to win the league this season - any Hearts fan who thinks otherwise is deluded. It's all so frustrating as we have the worst Celtic and Rangers teams for such a long time, but no matter how bad they are, they've proved they are still capable of stringing victories together - that's in their DNA."
"Paul: Seeing Hearts at the top of the league is like seeing an elephant up a tree, you've no idea how it got there, but you know it'll come crashing down to Earth very soon. Celtic will win the league, with an improved Rangers a close second. As you were. Nothing to see here. Gordon: Didn't play that badly, we missed a number of chances. The worry is that it's dropped points in three of the last four games. The manager has been poor in these games and late to make changes. Kenny: I think the bubble has well and truly burst! Throughout the decades, Hearts as a club completely lack the collective toughness that even the not so good Old Firm sides always seem to have."
The Scottish Premiership title race has tightened after Heart of Midlothian lost to Aberdeen, allowing five teams to narrow the gap. Hearts retain a four-point cushion over Celtic but have managed only one victory in four matches, raising doubts about consistency and composure. Fans point to missed chances and questioned managerial decisions as key issues. Observers note that Celtic and Rangers remain capable of regrouping and stringing wins despite inconsistent forms. Fan reactions range from resignation and metaphorical descriptions of instability to criticism of player performances and club mentality.
