For our Scottish viewers the SPL is almost exciting this season. Only a point separates Celtic & Rangers at the top of the table after 18 games and Rangers have the better goal difference with the wondefully named Nacho Novo and Dado Prso in the goals.

The season has also been noted for the improvement in the other sides. Aberdeen and Hibernian in particular are playing some good football. They met on Saturday and 10-man Hibs came out victors at a packed Easter Road to close the gap on the third-placed Aberdeen to four points.

Hibs are managed by ex Ipswich centre half Tony Mowbray and people are already talking about him becoming one of Britain's best young coaches.

At the bottom of the table it is very tight with just 3 points between the bottom 5 clubs.

For those of you interested Falkirk are way ahead at the top of Division 1, although the SPL has become a bit of a closed shop in recent years so calm yourselves down you Falkirk fanatics.
