Hearts could secure the Scottish Premiership title tonight for the first time since 1960 as they host Falkirk at Tynecastle. A victory for Hearts, combined with defeats for both Celtic and Motherwell, would break the Old Firm's longstanding duopoly of the Scottish top-flight. The last team outside Celtic or Rangers to lift the title was Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen in 1985. However, while Derek McInnes' side has enjoyed an outstanding season, Celtic's fate remains in their own hands. Martin O'Neill's team hosts Hearts at Parkhead on Saturday and could take the thrilling title race to the wire with a win of their own. Here is everything you need to know.
Is Hearts vs Falkirk on TV?
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football (not Sky Sports Main Event), with coverage starting at 7pm BST. Kick-off is at 8pm.
Is Motherwell vs Celtic on TV?
The other crucial title race fixture will be shown live on Sky Sports +, an additional channel accessible via the red button, Now TV, or the Sky app.
What is the team news?
Hearts suffered a "terrible" blow against Motherwell as key centre-back Craig Halkett and midfielder Marc Leonard both ruptured their Achilles, ruling them out for nine months. However, there was better news as left-back Harry Milne and midfielder Cammy Devlin were passed fit and are available to start.
How Hearts can win the league tonight
After a thrilling title race full of twists and turns, it could all be decided tonight. If Hearts beat Falkirk at home and Celtic lose away to Motherwell, Hearts will be champions with one game to spare. Both matches kick off simultaneously at 8pm BST, so goals at Tynecastle or Fir Park will be felt by the other team. Celtic can guarantee the title goes to the final day as long as they avoid defeat at Motherwell.
