Right.

Okay.

0:03.0

Heart slip up and Celtic are going nowhere in this title race plus it's nearly season ticket renewal time

0:25.5

I wonder what the Celtic marketing team have got in store for us that's this week on 20 minute

0:29.8

Tims I'm joined by Melly and Stephen how's it going it's the title race that just refuses to die

0:35.4

despite how bad we've been despite how bad everyone else is,

0:40.1

it's still really tight at the top, Melly.

0:41.9

It sure is. We are back in it after being out of it.

0:44.9

The last game, I think that's how it's going to be till the end of the season.

0:49.3

Hearts, possibly, but I don't know if MD will completely fall out it

0:53.2

between now and the end of the season.

0:55.1

All three teams have only won once this season, all three of them getting victories in the same weekend.

1:00.8

It's probably going to be like that.

1:02.4

And with the amount of games we're playing against each other in the coming months,

1:06.8

you're just looking at this going, it's just going to be like this.

1:10.0

Yeah, and I still find it impossible to decide or predict the eventual destination of the title

1:17.0

just because of the way things are going.

1:22.0

If you had to make a prediction of gun in my head, I would have to say that Hart's, despite the fact they're top of the league, I mean, Hart's fans might watch this and say, well, hold on a minute, you're just sitting third declaring us out of the title rest, but I think on the basis of trajectories and form, hearts are really starting to struggle. They haven't won away from home since January. I think it is that it's one point from the last 12 on the road and that is a big part of what's keeping Rangers and Celtic in the title race. We can all talk about like, oh, we are just clinging on my fingertips when we're fighting our way back into this. It's because hearts are dropping down just to meet us when they could have been running away with it. So I wouldn't rule anyone out.

2:18.4

I think you're right. I wouldn't rule anyone out of it just yet. But I've not ruled Celtic out at any point either. I've been really struggling with it. Even when Celtic had been really badly struggling and the United was dismal. We all come away from that thinking that is certainly in the conversation for the worst performance of the season. had the wee international break and thought, right,

2:19.9

maybe we can spring back from that.

2:34.1

Even after that game, I was like, no, I'm refusing to say we're out of the title race. Not because of massive green tinted optimism, but I just thought, nah, they're going to drop points as well and sure enough, hearts have gone out and done it yet again.
