Rangers (3 Viewers)

I only meant that they wouldn't do it!

Fair enough. Just bad choice of words then

And I agree celtic likely to win it, then rangers and then hearts.

But it's not over till its over and hearts have shown ability to bounce back well this season.

Kai Andrews just scored for Hibs v Celtic
To put them 2-1 up


I thought he was offside

Awkward one if your a Hibs fan tonight you’d think

Great win but gave an absolutely huge leg up to Hearts

 

[covcity4life]

I tell you what this weekend has seen nearly every result possible go the way I would have hoped it too.

Brilliant day for Scottish football

10 games left. Hearts know 9 will win then the league. 8 should do it and 7 possibly. It's all getting very real!

Our expert @David O'Day assured us that hearts wouldn't keep it up..... Of course Celtic may win it still but hearts have not dropped off that's for sure.

Amazing title race!

Hearts the major beneficiaries today for sure. When the league enters the ‘split’ it’ll be very interesting to see if they have to travel to both Ibrox and Parkhead.

They will play Rangers at home and Celtic away

It's a shame it works like that. Would be nice to see it end with normal fixtures

Yeah, it's odd.

If you're going to split the division do it when everyone has played the teams home and away. Then get everyone in each half to play each other home and away again. Just seems unfair when teams will have played teams a different number of times home and away.

Imagine having to go to Deepdale twice in one season though...

Suppose you can say in a season like this it guarantees some tasty fixtures in the run in

Yeh but I don't like manufactured excitement.

But still it's been like that for a while now so no point moaning too much.

The only way they end the split is if the expand the Premiership enough to make it an 18/20 team League

Will never happen though as their Cash Cow Old Firm games would be cut from 4 to 2 a season (in the League)

I mean 4 fixtures H2h can still work with amount of teams they have now?

Because they're the best two sides, they generally meet in both cups too, so normally 6 times a season. It's too much and surely loses some of that edge when it's every few weeks.

As said above though, it's a real money spinner and the other 10 clubs also benefit financially from playing them 3 times a season.
