8 Apr
Summary
- Hearts are one point clear of Rangers in the title race.
- The final game of the season is against Celtic at Celtic Park.
- McInnes is hopeful for an exciting title climax on the final day.
With six league matches remaining in the Scottish Premiership, Hearts leads second-placed Rangers by one point, with Celtic a further two points behind. Manager Derek McInnes expressed excitement about the potential for a dramatic title race finale, specifically highlighting the possibility of a championship decider at Celtic Park on May 16.
McInnes acknowledged the impact on fans, particularly regarding ticket allocations for the Celtic Park fixture. However, he also views it as an opportunity for the league to maximize drama, especially if both Hearts and Celtic are still in contention for the title on the final day. He anticipates Rangers will also have a significant role to play in the outcome.
Regarding player availability, Tomas Magnusson is awaiting a scan for a thigh injury that may rule him out for the rest of the season. The club will appeal Marc Leonard's red card. However, Stuart Findlay and Harry Milne are nearing returns, with Milne running again and not ruled out for the upcoming weekend. Calem Nieuwenhof and Ageu remain unavailable due to injury, while Craig Gordon is progressing and may resume goalkeeping drills next week.
