Why Celtic remain alive in the Premiership title race
Celtic remain in the Scottish Premiership race after Hearts' 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock, leaving Martin O'Neill's side still in contention.
In matchday 30 of the Scottish Premiership, Celtic not only celebrated their 3-1 victory against Motherwell, but also a key development in the championship race.
League leaders Hearts suffered a tough 1-0 defeat against Kilmarnock, thanks to a goal from Michael Schjønning-Larsen. This result allowed Celtic to reduce the gap in the standings and now sit just two points behind the top spot, completely reigniting the title race.
Will Celtic pull off the historic feat of coming from behind to win the Scottish Premiership?
With only three matchdays remaining, the end of the season promises to be one of the most exciting in recent years. Martin O’Neill’s side has faith in its squad and in the work done throughout the campaign to deliver the final blow and reach the top of the table in the closing stages.
Meanwhile, Hearts dream of capping off a historic season in which they have competed on equal terms with the giants of Scottish football.
The championship race could go down to the wire, with the final matchday scheduled for April 11.
On that day, Hearts will face Motherwell again, while Celtic will take on St Mirren in a match that could decide the champion.
With so little room for error, every point will be crucial in a season finale that has fans on the edge of their seats.
