Title rivals Rangers play impressive Motherwell on Wednesday night at Fir Park, while Celtic host Livingston
ByAndrew Petrie

Tomas Magnusson's 88th-minute strike sparked Tynecastle bedlam and gave Heart of Midlothian a crucial Edinburgh derby victory to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to six points.
It keeps Derek McInnes' side in the driving seat with second-top Rangers visiting fourth-top Motherwell while third-placed reigning champions Celtic host Livingston on Wednesday.
Another derby looked destined to have plenty of blood and thunder but no quality in the box as both sides struggled in front of goal during a fiery but nervous encounter.
Both were wasteful, getting themselves into good positions before squandering numerous chances at Tynecastle.
Islam Chesnokov, making his first Hearts start, missed the best chance for the hosts, side-footing over from a narrow angle towards the end of the first half.
Meanwhile, Martin Boyle was the guilty party for the visitors, lifting a shot over the bar after tenacious work from Nicky Cadden.
However, Magnusson struck as time looked to be running out as Hearts put last week's loss to St Mirren behind them to ensure they will have their noses in front of a resurgent Rangers when they visit Ibrox on Sunday.
More to follow.

Match Facts
Hearts have only lost one of their last eight home games against rivals Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership (W3 D4), a 1-2 reverse in December 2024 under Neil Critchley.
Hibernian have won three of the last four Edinburgh derbies in the Scottish Premiership (L1), as many as their previous 19 top-flight meetings with Hearts beforehand (W3 D9 L7).
Heart of Midlothian are unbeaten in their last 14 home league games (W10 D4) since a 0-1 defeat to Dundee in April 2025. It’s Hearts’ longest unbeaten home run in the top-flight since October 2004, when they went 16 without losing – the 15th of which was a 2-1 win over rivals Hibernian.
Since Christmas Day, only Rangers (22) have earned more points in the Scottish Premiership than Hibernian (14), who have won four and lost just one of seven league games in this time (D2).
Since his debut for the club in July 2022, Hearts have only won six of the 20 league games in which Lawrence Shankland hasn’t been in their starting XI (30%). This is compared to a 50%-win rate with the striker starting (60/119) in this period.
