Summary
Is the title now Hearts’ to lose after their comeback win against Rangers at Tynecastle?
Do Rangers have enough time to recover in the title race, or does their defeat in Gorgie rule them out of winning the league this season under Danny Rohl? Lawrence Shankland swept Hearts in front in an enthralling second half after Derek McInnes’ half-time team talk - was it the biggest 15 minutes of his managerial career? In the lower leagues, Inverness Caledonian Thistle secured the Scottish League 1 title as East Kilbride created history by winning League 2 - what now for both sides, and what can other teams learn from their respective promotions? The play-offs start tonight across the SPFL - are any shocks on the cards, and who should be getting their hopes up?
David Currie is joined by Cammy Kerr and Craig Telfer to discuss the biggest issues in Scottish football.
