Two-Horse Race for Premiership Title

The Scottish Premiership title race has narrowed to a two-horse battle between leaders Hearts and Celtic after Rangers' hopes were effectively ended by a 2-1 home defeat.

After Hearts' victory over Rangers, the Edinburgh side now leads by seven points over their Glasgow rivals and three points over Celtic. With nine games remaining, Rangers would need Hearts to drop all points and win all their own matches to have any chance, making their comeback highly unlikely.

Rangers can still do Hearts a favor by beating Celtic on Sunday, which would all but end the Glasgow rivals' title hopes. Meanwhile, Hearts will face Motherwell, with their final game against Celtic potentially being a title decider. Some Hearts supporters hope their team can secure the title before facing Celtic to avoid the pressure of a must-win final game at Celtic Park. realschule-moosburg.de
