Scottish Premiership Title Race Heats Up as Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic Battle for Supremacy

With six games remaining, Hearts' title aspirations are still within their grasp, but they face stiff competition from Rangers and Celtic. The Jambos are currently one point ahead of Rangers, who are set to feature on Sky Sports on Sunday, while the defending champions Celtic trail by two points. Meanwhile, the relegation battle is also gaining momentum, with only five points separating eighth-placed and 11th-placed teams. Both Hearts and Rangers need to break their duck against Motherwell and Falkirk, respectively, to stay in the title hunt. Derek McInnes' side hosts Motherwell on Saturday, having drawn against them home and away this season. After dropping points at Livingston, Hearts will be looking to extend their unbeaten run at Tynecastle Park, where they have won their last four league games 1-0. Motherwell, who were once in the title conversation, have taken just one point from their last four games and are now chasing European football for next season. Rangers travel to Falkirk on Sunday, aiming to improve on their back-to-back draws against the Bairns. Danny Röhl's men are unbeaten in their last 14 league matches, but Falkirk are also in form, having secured their third win in their last five games in all competitions. Celtic's hopes of winning the league for the fifth consecutive year were revived after Kelechi Ineahacho's winner at Dundee last weekend. The Hoops have only lost one of their last 39 home games against St Mirren and will be looking to move above Rangers into second place, a point behind Hearts. The Buddies have won their last two league games but lost their previous six and remain at risk of ending the season in the relegation play-offs. The battle to avoid the relegation play-offs is intense, with Livingston likely to drop out of the Premiership after just one season back. Dundee, St Mirren, Aberdeen, and Kilmarnock are all set for a tense end to the season, with just five points separating them. Kilmarnock, who sit 11th, have hit some home form of late, winning four of their last five league games at Rugby Park. Neil McCann's side hosts Dundee on Saturday, who have suffered back-to-back defeats. Aberdeen started last season with an incredible unbeaten run and ended it with Scottish Cup glory, but now they are battling to guarantee they are not relegated for the first time in their history. No side has lost more games in the Scottish Premiership this season than the Dons, and it is a tough test this weekend against Hibs, who are unbeaten in their last six league games. Defeat for Aberdeen would see them sit 11th heading into the Premiership split if Kilmarnock win and St Mirren take at least a point at Celtic Park.
