  1. Do we still have a Premiership title race?published at 11:29 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2019

    Could this be a defining day in the Scottish Premiership title race?

    Rangers' failure to beat St Johnstone at Ibrox yesterday means a Celtic win at Kilmarnock later this afternoon will give the champions an eight-point lead with 12 games remaining.

    But hang on. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Kilmarnock have already beaten Celtic at Rugby Park this season, and victory would send Steve Clarke's side back into the top three themselves.

    Before that, we've got an in-form Motherwell, who have won their last five league games, taking on Hearts, who could move closer to a top-four place themselves with victory at Fir Park.

    That one kicks off at 12:15 GMT, with Kilmarnock-Celtic to follow at 16:00.
