Celtic host Hearts on the final day of the season.

So I think in layman's terms, Hearts have to get to that last day at Celtic Park sufficiently far ahead.

Now, how far sufficiently far is, I wouldn't really care to speculate.

Four points would be nice.

Hearts go to Motherwell on Saturday night, which is a very, very tricky fixture.

Motherwell have been a very, very strong team this season and can damage anyone in the league.

Then Celtic play Rangers on Sunday, as we've said.

Then Hearts host Falkirk on Wednesday night and Celtic go to Motherwell.

So there's a chance and I think a reasonable chance it will be decided before that final day.

But Hearts' job is to take six points if they can.

which should put them in a very, very, very good position.

But Celtic, who have been written off and who have been criticised, and not unreasonably so at times, they have a manager, Martin O'Neill, who knows exactly what it takes to win the league in Scotland.

They have players, Callum McGregor, Kieran Tierney, Daiza Maeda, Rio Hotate, Arnie Engels, Alistair Johnston, James Forrest, who not only are very good players in Scotland, but they also know exactly how to win the league.

So they haven't really been in this position and certainly not against Hearts.

But I've been wary for a while that Celtic have been written off when maybe that's a bit unfair given what they've got in their locker.

You must be going, thank God they had Wilfred Nancy for a month.

That was another element of this wild season when I realised he was going to be sacked, but I was pretty disappointed with that.

I wanted to keep him for another six or eight weeks.

Well, yeah, and then the goal difference element is doubled, if you like, there, because what Celtic do immediately takes away from Hearts in that game.

It doesn't have to be six.
