The Scottish Premiership title race enters the post-split fixtures with three teams separated by three points at the top of the table. Celtic, Rangers, and Heart of Midlothian are the primary contenders for the trophy, according to Sky Sports. The league split organises the top six clubs into a final round of matches to determine the champion.
Celtic currently occupy the top position, holding a narrow lead over their city rivals. Rangers sit in second place, while Hearts remain three points adrift of the leaders following a consistent run of form. This marks the first time in several seasons that a third club has challenged the traditional dominance of the Glasgow sides this late in the campaign, per reports from The Guardian.
All three teams play this weekend as the final five-game stretch commences. The outcome of these fixtures could determine which side leads the standings by Sunday evening. League officials confirmed that goal difference may prove decisive if the points remains level, according to the Scottish Professional Football League.
