Celtic maintained their four-point lead at the top of the Premiership with a hard-fought victory over Hibernian at Easter Road, while Heart of Midlothian bounced back from a difficult week with an important win against Motherwell.

Stevie Miller is joined by Kevin Thomson and Conor Sammon to analyse Celtic's performance, discuss the struggles of big-money striker Kasper Høgh and assess whether there are signs of progress at Easter Road despite another defeat for Hibernian. The panel also looks at Heart of Midlothian's encouraging response under manager Wouter Vrancken, Rangers' impressive attacking form, Dundee United's thrilling win over Aberdeen and mounting concerns for Motherwell after a sixth consecutive league loss.

Plus, Falkirk's revival and Kilmarnock's defensive worries come under the spotlight. The discussion covers Carter-Vickers' return, Johnson's injury concern, Claudio Braga finding form again, and Derek McInnes's return to Tynecastle. Other topics include whether Dundee United v Aberdeen was the game of the season and if the Premiership is the tightest in years.

The episode also touches on the tightest Premiership in years and provides further analysis across Scottish football.
