The SPL Is Too Close to Call

The Scottish Premier League title race is poised to enter its final round of fixtures before the split, and a roller-coaster December/January has left us none the wiser as to the identity of the Champions in May. 

 

At the beginning of that two-month period, Celtic held a seven-point lead over Rangers. They proceeded to lose it, regain it, then lose it again in a run of games where they have shown anything but the form of Champions, taking just eight points from a possible 18.

 

Indeed, had Scott McDonald not scored his wonder goal at Ibrox in that 1-0 win, Rangers would now be top of the league.

 

The next 11 matches probably won’t separate the teams by much:

 

 

 

Celtic

 

(H) Hibernian

(A) Inverness CT

(H) Rangers

(A) Motherwell

(H) St Mirren

(A) Kilmarnock

(H) Falkirk

(A) DundeeUtd

(H) Hamilton

(A) Hearts

(H) Aberdeen
