"Image source, SNS The Scottish Premiership title race continues to deliver fascinating twists and turns, while the battles for European spots, top-six places and to pull clear of the bottom remain hugely compelling. Heart of Midlothian's late Edinburgh derby triumph on Tuesday, coupled with Rangers' draw in Motherwell, kept the Tynecastle side beyond touching distance of either Old Firm side. Falkirk have strengthened their grip on a top-six berth, while Livingston lost further ground on Kilmarnock and Dundee above them."
"A last-gasp goal from Stephen Welsh, on loan to Motherwell from Celtic, denied Rangers the opportunity to unseat Hearts at the league summit when they head to Ibrox on Sunday. The 1-1 draw at Fir Park leaves Danny Rohl's side five points adrift of the pace-setters from Gorgie. Time and again, Hearts' mettle has been questioned. And, at every turn, they have come up with the answers."
"Having lost to St Mirren, they faced a Hibernian side thirsting to inflict more damage on their rivals' title bid but found their way to another derby winner in the dying embers. Hearts continue to heap pressure upon the Glasgow two. They have beaten Rangers and Celtic at Tynecastle and in their respective strongholds at the other end of the M8. A draw would do for Derek McInnes and his team. However, Hearts know, and have shown, they have what it takes to prevail in Govan."
The Scottish Premiership title race remains unpredictable, with Heart of Midlothian holding the summit after a late Edinburgh derby victory that keeps pressure on both Rangers and Celtic. Rangers drew 1-1 at Motherwell, leaving them five points behind Hearts, while Falkirk have bolstered their position in the top six and Livingston has fallen further behind Kilmarnock and Dundee. Stephen Welsh's stoppage-time goal denied Rangers the chance to overtake Hearts. Hearts have beaten Rangers and Celtic both at Tynecastle and on the road, and Rangers face a stern mental and tactical test at Ibrox.
