Well, it looks like the SPL is over already, the league title pretty much wrapped up by Celtic before December.
Hearts had a great chance to narrow the gap today and probably should have got at least a point at Parkhead if not a victory after going 1-0 up with 15 mins to go.
But, as usual, Celtic came back with a goal 5 mins from time and then a winner with the last kick of the ball 4 mins into injury time. This happened last season when Hearts lost 3-2 at Tynie on Boxing Day. A win would have left the league wide open but instead it sucked the life out of Hearts and they never recovered.
With Rangers being inconsistent, it's hard to see how either Hearts or Rangers can close the gap.
While Scottish Football as a whole is getting a lot better, it's sickening to think the league title is all but won so early in the season.
