Scotland's remarkable three-way title race - and the 41-year wait that could end

Jeopardy has returned to Scottish football. It is an integral part of any sporting competition but, for 41 years, the title has been shared between only two clubs, Glasgow’s dominant duo of Celtic and Rangers. This season, the usual two-horse race finally has a third runner. Hearts, short for their full name Heart of Midlothian, hailing from the capital Edinburgh and without a league triumph in 65 years, are top of the Premiership with four games to go. They are three points clear of Celtic and four ahead of Rangers, on the verge of upending the duopoly known as the ‘Old Firm’.Advertisement
