Scottish Premiership Final Day Permutations
The most exciting season in recent history in the Scottish Premiership draws to a close this weekend, and there’s still plenty to play for.
Hearts have shaken up the usual order of Rangers and Celtic exchanging periods of dominance at the summit of the Scottish Premiership and are inches away from making history - the last time that a team other than Rangers or Celtic won the title was back in 1985, when Aberdeen lifted the trophy under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson.
It’s set up perfectly for drama with Hearts having to travel to Celtic, needing at least a point to secure the Scottish Premiership title.

Key Fixtures
Celtic v Hearts
It doesn’t get much bigger than this in what could be a seismic moment for Scottish football. Just one point separates Hearts and Celtic at the top of the table, with Rangers falling away in the final few weeks of the season after being right in the contest due to the impressive work of Danny Rohl.
A draw will be enough for Hearts, they’ve only lost five of their 18 away games in the Scottish top flight this season, though they have historically struggled when away at Celtic having won just two of the last 26 meetings between the sides at Celtic Park - though these two wins have come more recently, in line with the gradual improvement of Hearts that has brought about this title tussle.
Celtic have won each of their last seven matches, giving them real momentum heading into the final day contest. They also have vastly more experience than Hearts when it comes to the tail end of the season, and have lost just three games at home all season. They are also pretty fortunate to have this opportunity after being awarded a controversial penalty in the final stages of their clash against Motherwell last time out.
Hibernian v Motherwell
Most of the focus in the Championship group is on the title struggle, but there’s another smaller battle between Motherwell and Hibernian further down the table for a spot in Conference League qualifying next season.
Hibernian sit just one point behind Motherwell heading into the final game, and need all three points to unseat the away side from their current position, which will see them go through qualifying for the Conference League next season.
Hibernian have managed to win their last two matches to give themselves a chance of a European tour, including a win over Rangers last time out, which fully killed any slim chance that Rohl’s side had of being involved in a final-day title battle.
The good news for Hibernian is that Motherwell have only won five of their 18 away matches in the Scottish Premiership this season, and have only managed to win one of their last five matches, which was also a victory over Rangers.
