Ahead of one of the scariest rounds of competition ever, we’ve gathered the thoughts of those who matter most – the fans…

Who is your favorite by title?

Hearts fan Liam Corbett This is my story podcast: “Probably Hearts right now, I think we’ve probably been the most consistent of the three.

“We have a three-point advantage. 50 per cent of our remaining games have been at Tynecastle. We are unbeaten at home and have performed very well against top six teams. I think if we can maintain some form of a points gap between us and the other two teams as each game goes by, I think that will keep us at the top.”

Celtic fan Tino Callaghan Celtic Exchange Podcast: “I would have to say Hearts are three points ahead with four games remaining.

“On paper I was going to say they would be the favourites, but I’m not sure if they are the bookies’ favourites. I looked at it last week and the bookies at that time still had Celtic and Rangers, both of whom were more likely than Hearts.

“But people are expecting or thinking that Hearts might disappear. Like I said, there are four games left and they are still more than in the mix. They are at the top.”

Rangers fan David Herd 4 Lads Had A Dream Podcast: “I think hearts are the most popular right now because they have the most points.

“Given that all three teams have had a habit of losing points all season, the points in the bank are probably the most important.”

What does title success mean?

Liam Corbett: “Where do I begin? I’m 41 years old and I’ve been saying for a long time that it’s not a trophy, it’s not a ribbon on a trophy, it’s not a street parade or anything like that.

“I went to Tynecastle and followed Hearts from the moment I was born with my dad. He’s 66 and he’s never seen Hearts win.

“That moment when the referee blew the final whistle and I was able to turn to my dad after all the good and the bad, the Tuesday night, the relegation, the relegation, the cup loss, the heartache. To be able to celebrate and celebrate with my dad that we won what he’s dreamed of his whole life and what I’ve dreamed of my whole life.

“That’s the thing, you can’t bottle it, it’s incredible. You can have family, legacy and two lifetimes of absolute joy.

“I’ll probably cry, and he’ll probably cry, but that’s the most exciting moment. Just being with my dad is incredible.”

Tino Callahan: “It’s definitely going to be one of the most enjoyable and satisfying things I’ve done in a while.

“And to say we’ve won 13 of the last 14 titles is never satisfying, it’s been a bit of a process at times.

“Normally there’s some closure around late April, early May, but not so much this time. “Generally speaking, I think encouragement is needed. “It’s good for Scottish football and it’s great to see teams like Hearts, Motherwell and Falkirk in particular all improving.

“Celtic need to continue to improve themselves. We have seen a number of clashes on and off the park this season. We need to put that right and perhaps the progress of others has been a stark reminder of that.

“For all of these reasons and considering the ups and downs of the season so far, I think it will be really fun and satisfying if we get through this season.”

David Heard: “This is like going back to what I looked forward to most of my life as a Rangers supporter.

“I’m absolutely fed up with not winning. I think that’s probably the best way to put it. Recent history has been terrible.

“We’ve only won one title and there were no fans there. Personally, I haven’t seen Rangers win since 2011.

“It means everything to us. I want to be the first in 56 (league titles).”

Would you support the opposition if one of your rivals stopped them from winning the title?

Liam Corbett: “The reason we love Scottish football is because of its rivalry and heartbreak.

“Everything in football is about competition. If you don’t win trophies or achieve your goals for the season, the next best thing is for your rivals to also fail to achieve their goals or achievements.

“If Hearts lose to Hibs and they don’t have a good summer, if they don’t smile and if they don’t celebrate in any scenario that could have a direct impact, that’s 100 per cent. I want Hearts to kick Hibs to the curb every chance they get.”

Tino Callahan: “It is such a question, it is so hypothetical and I hope it remains hypothetical, because we know that as a club we must always try to do our best and try to win our games.

“But if Celtic were to allow Hearts to win on the last day to prevent Rangers winning the title, then in theory it would be a very unique situation… I don’t know.

“I would reject that. I just want Celtic to win every game they play and it would be a reasonable approach to say that, so I will stick to that line.”

David Heard: “I think, fortunately for us, it’s not going to work that way.

“So I don’t think there’s a need to think that way. I think the Celtic v Hearts game is the last one. I think that’s a question for the Celtic supporters and the Hearts supporters.

“But I don’t think we need to think that way in the last two games against Hibs and Falkirk.”
