"Especially so given visitors Rangers could have the chance of ousting Hearts from the top of the table for the first time since September should Derek McInnes' side have already lost Tuesday's derby at Tynecastle. Danny Rohl's side head down the M8 having taken 16 points from their latest six unbeaten league games - and having fired eight goals past Queen's Park in the cup on Sunday."
"A busy Wednesday lies ahead as Scotland's top-flight sides return to Premiership action after the Scottish Cup's last-16 weekend. By the time Rangers visit Motherwell, they will know whether they have a chance to overtake Heart of Midlothian at the top of the table, with the long-time leaders hosting derby rivals Hibernian 24 hours earlier. Meantime, reigning champions Celtic will be confident of keeping the pressure on as they host bottom side Livingston."
A busy midweek schedule features Premiership matches with Rangers visiting Motherwell, Hearts hosting Hibernian, and Celtic hosting Livingston. Rangers could potentially overtake Hearts depending on Hearts' derby result. Rangers have taken 16 points from six unbeaten league matches and scored eight in their cup win over Queen's Park. Motherwell have collected 13 points in the same run, losing once, and earn praise under Jens Berthel Askou for a free-flowing passing style. Motherwell's cup tie was postponed by rain, leaving them rested. Rangers have one defeat in 12 outings, and manager Danny Rohl describes the squad as a work in progress.
