Tartan Desk

Not since the days of Aberdeen has there been a worthy third team in Scotland. But this season there is George Burley's Hearts, and they won their first big test on Saturday when with their high tempo game they brushed aside Rangers 1-0 at Tynecastle.

Rangers with Francis Jeffers coming on as a 20th minute sub are now in 5th place, 11 points behind the Edinburgh club who equalled their club record of eight straight league wins set in 1914-15.

Craig Beattie scored twice as Celtic came behind to beat Caley Thistle 2-1, thus avoiding another Sun headline. Hibs are 3rd and Kilmarnock are in 4th after being held at home to Falkirk.

Livingston are bottom without a win in 8 games and with only 2 goals on the board.

St Mirren lead Scottish Div 1.
