Well, Well, Well.<\/p>\n

The race for the Scottish Premiership<\/a> title took another twist last night when Hearts slipped up at Motherwell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And today Celtic<\/a> will be out to take full advantage of it. But first they have to dispose of a wounded Rangers<\/a> side who suffered an almost fatal blow to their own hopes when they lost to Derek McInnes’ men last week.<\/p>\n

The stakes are as high as the tension rippling through our game. English Premier League? You can keep it.<\/p>\n

Because Scottish football hasn’t been this laden with drama in 40 years, not since Aberdeen again broke the stranglehold of the Glasgow giants.<\/p>\n

Sure, Hearts still lead at the top of the table. But that 1-1 draw at Fir Park has given Martin O\u2019Neill<\/a>\u2019s side even greater cause to believe and they can cut the gap to just one point with still two games to play.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as tight as two coats of Dulux and Danny Rohl <\/a>and his team will be desperate to stop their Old Firm rivals from painting Glasgow green and white.<\/p>\n

Ready for it? You bet.<\/p>\n
