Just when it looked all done for Rangers, Hibernian defeats Celtic at Celtic for the first time since 1992 3-1. So if Rangers win tomorrow against Aberdeen, they're back to only 2 points down with 3 games to play. Slip-ups now are costly.

On the other end, you have Dundee United on 32, Livingston on 31, Dundee on 31, and Dunfermline on 28 with 3 games to play, plus the split guarantees these sides all playing each other at the end. Dunfermline needs to get back to winning ways if this is to stay interesting past next week.

But wow, the exact opposite of last year.

Scary stuff today, the problems in our team were exposed by Hibs, maybe the split is a good thing and makes both ends of the league more exciting.

I agree, i think the split is good for sport in general. I mean who wants to watch a club that is 30+ points ahead pummel a sister of the poor club who is fighting relegation? I think this should be implimented across football. Plus it makes for good drama. :D

Hate playing a team that has just lost their manager, was worried about the tynecastle trip anyhow, need to be on top form there.

I agree completly. This game needs to be played at a Chamions League level. We have been leading all this time it would be greatly disapointing to lose it now.

The only good thing is that Rangers are at Easter road the last game, not an easy place to get anything.

I have a ticket for the Motherwell game, so I hope we can beat Hearts and set us up for scary day out in sunny Motherwell, should be some atmosphere, would have loved to be at Tynecastle.

Very stressful for all of us. Rangers at Aberdeen, even at home, could quite possibly take all 6 points from us. Aberdeen, likewise, could quite possibly get all 6 from their next two. As much as I hate to relish in others' pain, it was relieving to hear that Aberdeen will not have a full strength squad. Nonetheless, these should be two of the most exciting weeks the SPL has had in a long, long time if only because the races are interesting for so many teams. Wish I could be back at Easter Road!

Even if you lose the two remaining games, you still have a superior goal difference to Aberdeen (Although I suppose getting beat twice, and potentially once by the dons might dent that) It's all in your hands you can end Aberdeen's challenge today....and it's a home game.

I'm not too sure if I want you to do that however, I'd like next weeks game V the teddies to be very important (More?) to the Hibees
