“They are what they are – mediocre and it’s over for them, rightly so” – A brutal Rangers post-mortem after Hearts 2-1 Rangers at Tynecastle puts Derek McInnes’ side 3 points clear of Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership with just 3 games to go.
Peter Martin and Roughie break down a defining weekend – Hearts beating Rangers, Celtic edging Hibs 1-2 with a Jamie McGrath red card and Iheanacho off-the-bench winner, and the title race now down to a last-day showdown between Hearts and Celtic at Parkhead.

Don’t forget Hearts were missing Milne, Devlin, Magnuson, McEntee and also our record 1.8 million signing Ageu. I hear none of them are back for Motherwell plus we have another two injured. We are up against it for the last few games.
Nice tribute from Peter on Quinton Young. Cutty was a fantastic winger with a great shot from both feet. Unlike some of Rangers players today, he had the heart of a lion.

What about Motherwell v Celtic? That’s not a guaranteed 3 points for Celtic. Z
If Rangers beat Celtic and Motherwell beat Hearts then Rangers are back in the title race! Hope not!
Time to get a short back n sides Roughie.
Gordon Parks loathes Rangers !
What a horrible man Parks is, says he's watched Rangers every week and thinks their best signing is some guy called Rubens.
Aye it was great and yes peoole all around the world was watching …what wasnt great Easter road was hold empty ,,not a great look at all for such an important game and sure Celtic woykd have filled the empty spaces …all grounds shpuld be filled at all times and the clubs who are playing with prettied lips shpuld be forced to ket fans in
sack roughy pls hes like stammer it wont happen
peter ur full of shit the heartz had 9 men and the 0. 7 squad were fuikin sht bias main stream u never change go back to snp
Celtic have only won the last few league titles, because everyone else has been so poor for the last 20 years plus…
Look at the line-up.
The little stumpie in the middle, with his English gear on.
Worst goalie Scotland's ever seen.
And that reform leaders brother.
Just catching up now I'll keep my comments till the end.
Tam must be away gifting fitit out for his Heart gear 😭
I hope Haiti batter scotland . All these clowns will deserve the embarrassment for sticking by clarke.. I hope they get battered in every game . Embarrassingly battered .
Peter hearts struggled against 9 man hibs and ended with the same scorline as celtic at easter road
What if celtic beat rangers and motherwell beat hearts
That skov olen makes balikwisha look like prime messi he is awful
Falkirk bought Ben Parkinson from Newcastle for an undisclosed fee in January
Roughie predicted a 2-1 Hearts win. Watch back last week’s show. It was Tam that predicted the Rangers win.
Peter, Celtic were dominant against Hibs. The terrible officiating made a closer game than it ever should have been. As usual Celtic have to beat their opponents and the officials. Hearts also struggled more against 9 men than we did against 10. Fact
Fast forward to next Thursday. Hearts 3 points ahead and GD benefit of 8 goals. Parksie – “Celtic will win the league”
That Rangers team folded with ten minutes to go and did not want to fight for a draw !
Celtic were very poor against Hibs on Sunday. My belief on us winning the league is wavering but not going to change now. We will be doing well to win next two games at home to Rangers and away to Motherwell. Looking fir Motherwell to do us a favour at home to Hearts on Saturday. Bookies have Hearts chances of winning the league at approx 66% and thats about right Hearts beat Motherwell they've one hand on the trophy. We've alressy lost one mental midget in the title race. Will Hearts follow suit and buckle under the pressure?
What’s going on with the cursor on the screen. Distracting.
In 1965 Hearts lost the title on goal average, not goal difference. Hearts would have won the league had it been decided on goal difference.
"Hearts only top and in with a shout to win the title this season because of how poor Ranger's and Celtic have been."
Previous champions in recent history:
24/25 – Celtic – 81 pts
23/24 – Celtic – 77 pts
22/23 – Celtic – 92 pts
21/22 – Celtic – 82 pts
20/21 – Rangers – 89 pts
19/20 – Celtic – 80 pts
18/19 – Celtic – 77 pts
I could go on, but the point is,
Hearts currently sit on 76 pts with 3 games still to play and a possible total of 85 pts.
This means hearts are on course to get a higher points total than FIVE OF THE LAST SEVEN league winning points totals!
Don't let anyone tell you hearts winning this league is anything to do with Ranger's or Celtic. It's utter nonsense when hearts are on course for a higher points total than 5 of the last 7 champions.
Give hearts the credit they deserve WITHOUT tainting that credit with the caveat of saying they're just lucky because Ranger's and celtic have been terrible.
Celtic are actually right on course for their average points total over the past decade thats been enough to win them it🤷♂️ only difference this season is there's a team up there with them!!!
As a Celtic supporter watching from Australia I have to agree with your opinion re Celtic being below par ,for me I’d say Celtic are more likely to drop a point than Hearts..No flair in this present Celtic team.
27:09 goal AVERAGE in '65, peter
