Overview
- Hearts lead the Scottish Premiership by three points over Celtic with four matches left, with Rangers one point further back.
- A comeback win away to Hibernian, who finished with nine players, restored Hearts’ cushion at the summit.
- Claudio Braga says the squad believed for months but kept quiet, and he calls the upcoming home meeting with Rangers a very important game.
- Braga is Hearts’ leading scorer with 17 goals, earned a PFA Scotland player of the year nomination, and joined last summer from Norwegian side Aalesunds.
- Braga argues a Hearts title would end a 41-year Celtic-Rangers duopoly and could embolden other Scottish clubs to target the league.
