re: Scottish football thread

So Hearts are really gonna do this

They are up by 5 essentially, as i will assume Celtic will win at Aberdeen on Wednesday.
They've also got 2 weeks of rest before their next fixture.


Celtic have to win all 5 games to get to 70 points.
Rangers have to win all 4 games to get to 69 points.

Hearts are playing 3 of the bottom 4 teams before finishing the season against Motherwell. Wins against those 3 gets them to 72 points.


Would be nice for them to win the league at home though, as that 3rd game is at Livingston. They play Dundee in their second game, and if they win those two then they'd be at 69 points, but they'd need Celtic to lose or tie both games for them to secure the title at that home game, as well as Rangers would need to drop a point in their 2 games.

Thanks. Didn't realize they did that in the Scottish League.

I knew some other smaller leagues did that, but didn't realize they did that in Scotland.

They survived administration and almost certain relegation and come back better.

I mean by any measure Scotland is a smaller league, just with two giant clubs… hence why we’re talking about Hearts. There hasn’t been a winner other than Rangers or Celtic in 40 years

Rangers fans were sending flares into the Celtic fans sections

Celtic had ZERO shots. Not shots on target, shots

Crazy scene after the game. Couple of Celtic fans came on the pitch and that obviously pissed off the Rangers fan so a bunch of them came out as well. Lot of middle fingers and swearing was done, couple of flares thrown at each other, then the Rangers fans ran off the pitch back to their seats, and I presume to go outside the stadium for the inevitable confrontations outside the stadium. Police in Glasgow I’m sure have their work cut out for them today after the game.

Would be horrible to lose the league to Celtic or Rangers after starting 4-0 combined against them. Though I am sure they'll have to play one or both again after the table splits?

They've got Dundee on Saturday, then Livingston and then Motherwell. After the split, they'll play Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell, Hibs and Falkirk. Unfortunately, it's probably going to be Celtic again.
