Paul Cooney, Charlie Mulgrew and Barry Ferguson break down one of the most unpredictable title races in years. 

Scottish football delivered pure chaos this weekend, and the panel dive straight into it. Celtic somehow claw back from 2–0 down at Rugby Park to win it in the 97th minute — “there’s some spirit in this team” as Martin O’Neill puts it. Rangers then answer the call at Ibrox, coming from behind twice to beat league‑leaders Hearts 4–2, with Chermiti silencing critics with a hat‑trick.

Motherwell’s remarkable run continues, tightening the title race even further. With just three points separating Hearts, Rangers and Celtic, the lads debate who’s really got the mentality to go the distance.

“Best footballing team in the league,” says Charlie.

Their form means they’ll shape the title race even if they don’t win it.

Injuries to key players loom large.

Debate over Rangers’ mentality at Motherwell.

Manager Soundbites

O’Neill: “We can’t keep doing this every week.”
