Big weekend in Championship

Heart of Midlothian could clinch the Championship title this weekend if results go the way of Robbie Neilson's side.

Heart of Midlothian could clinch the Championship title this weekend if results go the way of Robbie Neilson's side.

The Tynecastle men are currently 20 points clear of city rivals, and closest challengers, Hibernian with eight games remaining.

Victory at Falkirk on Saturday would put Hearts on the brink and if Hibs then failed to beat Rangers at Easter Road on Sunday - live on Sky Sports at 12.45pm - it would be all over.

To add to the intrigue, Falkirk are just outside the play-offs and are the only team to have beaten Hearts in the league this season - 3-2 at Tynecastle in January. Peter Houston's men are unbeaten in 11 outings in 2015 since losing to Raith Rovers at the end of December.

On Sunday, Hibernian are looking to make it four wins out of four against Rangers this season, having triumphed 3-1 and 2-0 at Ibrox and 4-0 at Easter Road.

Alan Stubbs' men have lost just once since September - at Falkirk in December - and are in second spot, six points clear of Stuart McCall's men, who have a game in hand but who have drawn five matches in a row.
