I'm 68, I should grow up, but Hearts being top of the league is killing me as a childhood Hibernian supporter, I think Oh no, not them! But I think they're the favourites, they're adrenaline junkies' Former Celtic boss Gordon Strachan talks to FFT

"But then you think to yourselves, Who deserves to be top of the league right now?' I think it's Hearts, it's definitely Hearts. They've been the most consistent, their football is full of life, especially at Tynecastle, they can be a bit crash bang wallop at times, but that's what we want as fans. We see shots, headers, tackles, aggression, they're giving us that, so they deserve to be there."

"The former Scotland player and boss is now the technical director at Dundee, having joined the club in 2019. Dundee currently sit ninth in the Scottish Premiership table, but all the talk this season has been about an unexpected three-way title race. Hearts remain the surprise leaders, four points clear of Rangers, with reigning champions Celtic a further two points behind."
