Scottish Fitba'

Hearts probably need 17 points from the last 9 games to win the league.
Dare to dream

Not sure about that. Celtic beat Hearts in their remaining game, the gap is down to 2 points. So if Celtic win their remaining 9 games, Hearts need to win their other 8 games.

Admittedly, the way Celtic are playing, it's unlikely they will win the last 9 games, but you never know, MON is certainly grinding the results out.
 
Another factor to consider - Celtic have been playing twice weekly for the last couple of months, thanks to Europe and the Cup. Hearts are out of both, so have had a lot less games. By this weekend, Celtic will have played 19 games since New Year, that takes it toll. Hearts will have played 11 games in the same period. Now that we are out of Europe, that extra load is gone, So I'd expect to see a fresher, better Celtic. Hopefully anyway!

It has certainly helped Hearts by being out of both cups and missing Europe .
[Hard to think that this time last year they were fighting relegation]

To balance that they have had key players injured during that period.
Bar one, those players will all be fit by their next game, whether they get selected is another thing :love:
