Hearts’ title charge is gaining serious momentum after they defeated Rangers, marking their fourth victory over the Glasgow giants this season. This dominance fuels genuine belief they could emulate Alex Ferguson’s 1985 Aberdeen side by breaking the Old Firm’s monopoly. It would be their first championship triumph since 1960.
Rangers, revitalized under Danny Rohl, arrived unbeaten in eight matches but crumbled at Tynecastle. Two quick-fire goals before the break proved decisive: Stuart Findlay’s header and a Lawrence Shankland strike that caught Jack Butland off guard. Although Youssef Chermiti capitalized on a late Frankie Kent mistake to score for Rangers, Derek McInnes’ side secured the win. Rangers now trail the leaders by twelve points.
Meanwhile, defending champions Celtic are in crisis. Sitting second, they face Aberdeen today hoping to end a streak under new boss Wilfried Nancy, who has lost his first four games, marking the club’s worst run since 1978.
