  1. Back on the winning trail?published at 12:08 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2017

    Celtic's run of 22 consecutive league wins - and 17 in all competitions - came to an end last weekend with their 1-1 draw at home to Rangers. 

    However, manager Brendan Rodgers will not be viewing it as a crisis - well, not just yet! Especially as they remain undefeated in all 35 domestic games this season.

    Dundee have lost twice, and failed to score a goal, following a four-match unbeaten February that led to Paul Hartley being named Premiership manager of the month.

    Pedro Caixinha's reign as Rangers manager got off to a flyer yesterday with a 4-0 win over Hamilton Accies.

    It consolidated the Ibrox side's position in third and means they did not fall further behind Aberdeen.

    More importantly for the Ibrox faithful, it could be a sign that Rangers have found a manager capable of reducing the gap between themselves and city rivals Celtic.

    Are Celtic fans concerned about the possibility? What are the first impressions of Rangers fans to their team under the Portuguese?

    Should Ian Cathro's working arrangement with Craig Levein at Hearts be of concern? Or is it to be expected?

  3. Tune in to action from Dens Parkpublished at 12:01 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2017

    A reminder that live build-up and commentary is about to start on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound on both FM and MW after the national news.

  5. Dons do well, sticky for Jam Tartspublished at 11:57 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2017

    That win for Aberdeen over Hearts not only delayed Celtic's party but put a further dampener on the mood at Tynecastle.

    St Johnstone's 2-1 victory away to Motherwell lifted Tommy Wright's side above the Edinburgh outfit into fourth.

    It also led to more scrutiny of Hearts head coach Ian Cathro and especially his relationship with director of football Craig Levein.

    Levein was seen passing tactical information to Jon Daly in the stand that the coach then passed on to Cathro on the touchline, while the former Hearts manager was also apparently present in the dressing-room at half-time.

    It would be surprising if a young manager did not take advice from a former Scotland manager - and he himself says he is comfortable with such an arrangement - but the idea has been met with some astonishment from some former players and fans.

  7. Two wins to a titlepublished at 11:50 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2017

    A win for Celtic over Dundee today and the visitors would only need one more to secure another league title - and their second piece of silverware of their first season under Brendan Rodgers after lifting the Scottish League Cup.

    Dundee are hoping for a win that would lift them above Kilmarnock into seventh and to within one point of Partick Thistle after their rivals for that last place in the top six drew at Rugby Park yesterday.

  8. No title party at Dens Parkpublished at 11:45

    Stand down the championship flags, the bunting, the flares, the balloons, the beach balls, or whatever else you planned to celebrate with, it can't be done today after all.

    Aberdeen's 2-0 win over Hearts yesterday means that it will be at least another week before Celtic can secure their a sixth straight Scottish title that has been long inevitable.

    However, in anticipation of a Dons defeat, Celtic fans had already snapped up their allocation of seats at Dens Park.

    So that will ensure a large crowd for their visit to Dundee this lunchtime.
