Summary
Does Celtic’s win against Hibs mean they are title favourites? Or will the winner of Hearts v Rangers go on to be champions?
After Martin O’Neill’s side found a way past stubborn 10-man Hibs, we ask if they are now the most likely side to win the title, or is Monday night’s Tynecastle meeting between Hearts and Rangers a title decider? Hearts faced city rivals Hibs in the 2012 Scottish Cup final - how comparable is this seismic clash? And with Livingston’s relegation to the Championship confirmed, Livi defender Ryan McGowan gives us the inside take on the side’s demotion as we size up which side is most likely to be in the relegation play-off spot.
Andrew Petrie is joined by Ryan McGowan and Rory Loy to discuss the biggest issues in Scottish football.
