Hearts lead title race as Celtic and Rangers chase from behind
With just a few matches remaining in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic still have their title hopes alive, although they know there’s virtually no room for error.
With a three-point lead over the league leaders, the team is obliged to win and hope for a slip-up from the top.
Their main rival in this final stretch is Heart of Midlothian, who have been the season’s biggest surprise thanks to their consistency and regularity.
Hearts are the top contenders to snatch the title from Celtic and Rangers
Far from the usual dominance between Celtic and Rangers, this year the championship battle has had a different protagonist, further increasing the competition.
Everything suggests the title race could go down to the wire on the final matchday, May 16th, where a direct title win or a dramatic finish is even possible depending on the previous results.
Every point will be crucial in one of the most closely contested seasons in recent years. Celtic, for their part, will need to be at their best in these final matches if they want to snatch the title from Hearts.
The pressure is immense, but so is the motivation to return to the top of Scottish football in what promises to be a thrilling finale.
