Hearts snatched a dramatic 1-0 victory over Hibernian on Tuesday, restoring their six-point lead in the Scottish Premiership. Tomas Magnusson's late goal at Tynecastle, after 87 minutes, handed the leaders a crucial win that shifted title race momentum. Hibs now trail by a full six points before their rivals play, setting a high bar for Celtic and Rangers to match. The result underscores the title race's volatility, with every point now critical in this season-long battle.

Celtic also secured a win, but not without drama. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, making his debut for the club, scored a crucial winner against Livingston after 23 minutes of football, his first goal in 14 months. The result kept Celtic third, though they remain a point behind Rangers and six behind Hearts, with a game in hand over both. The victory highlights Oxlade-Chamberlain's immediate impact, though Celtic's performance against Livingston raised questions about their cutting edge.

Rangers faced a setback at Fir Park, losing 1-0 to Motherwell despite a red card for Lukas Fadinger. Stephen Welsh, a Motherwell defender recalled from Celtic, scored the late equaliser, a twist that left Rangers struggling despite their early goal and numerical advantage. This loss, coming after a strong run, makes Sunday's clash with Hearts a must-win for Danny Rohl's side, who have drawn twice and won seven of their last nine games. The title race now hinges on these remaining fixtures, with Motherwell's impressive record against the top teams adding another layer of intrigue.
