Hearts’ title hopes were handed another huge boost on Tuesday as they moved five points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a dramatic late win over Hibs at Tynecastle.
An 88th-minute strike from substitute Tomas Bent Magnusson handed Derek McInnes’ side a seismic victory in the capital, and things got even better for the Jambos when second-placed Rangers dropped two vital points by conceding a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with 10-man Motherwell just 24 hours later.
While a debut goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ensured Celtic go into the weekend six points behind the league leaders with a game in hand, Hearts’ hopes of winning their first league title since 1960 were most definitely given a boost after a mammoth set of midweek results in Scotland’s top flight.
But who do the bookies believe will be crowned as the champions of Scotland come? Here are the latest Scottish Premiership title odds as we reach the final few months of the campaign.
