The Scottish Premiership title race is heating up with six crucial fixtures this weekend. Hearts remain top, but their lead has been cut to four points. Victory at Motherwell could restore a seven‑point cushion, though defeat may open the door for Celtic, who visit Hibernian in Sunday’s early kick‑off.
Rangers, revitalized under Danny Rohl with four straight league wins, host Falkirk later that day, while Wilfried Nancy is set to be confirmed as Celtic’s new manager, potentially making Martin O’Neill’s trip to Easter Road his final game in charge.
