Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts secured another narrow 1-0 victory at Tynecastle, extending their advantage at the top. Dundee United shocked Celtic 1-0 at Tannadice, while Rangers climbed to second with a win. The weekend's results have intensified pressure on struggling Aberdeen, who suffered another defeat and now face a serious relegation battle.

Aberdeen fans expressed deep frustration after their team's poor performance against Rangers, with many calling for a summer rebuild. Stephen Robinson's side showed defensive vulnerabilities and lacked attacking threat, conceding from set pieces as they have all season. The Dons' plight has become so concerning that even veteran supporters described it as the worst they've witnessed in decades. With crucial matches ahead, Aberdeen must quickly find form to avoid dropping into the relegation playoff.

Celtic's title hopes took a significant blow as they fell to Dundee United on a poor pitch at Tannadice. Fans criticized both the playing surface and tactical decisions, with many questioning the selection of certain players. The loss leaves Celtic's championship aspirations hanging by a thread, requiring near-perfect results from here on. Meanwhile, Hearts continue their steady progress, grinding out results despite not always playing attractively, as they aim to maintain their position at the summit.
