CELTIC LEGEND WRITES EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU EVERY WEEK

THERE are fewer things sweeter in football than a last-minute winner or a late leveller.

But you certainly can't rely on doing it every week.

What an incredible couple of days in the Premiership and tomorrow is set to be another wild day of drama that could be crucial in the title race.

It's so fitting it's Valentine's weekend because I am absolutely loving this battle to become Scotland's champions.

And the best thing about it is the fact all three teams in the mix look vulnerable.

I get it that fans feel like it's the end of the world when their team drops points.

But maybe I can put their minds at rest a little bit - because Hearts, Rangers and Celtic are all going to drop more points from now until the finishing line.

That's what makes it so thrilling.

The Jambos pulled a victory out of the hat late against Hibs, then the Hoops needed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to get them out of a hole at the death against Livingston.

Meanwhile, Gers were on the flip side when they spilled two points in the final moments away at Motherwell.

Chuck in the fact it was Celtic's Stephen Welsh who grabbed the goal for the Steelmen and you couldn't script that kind of drama.

And who knows what's coming next - anything could happen.

It wouldn't surprise me if Hearts won at Ibrox tomorrow. And, likewise, I wouldn't be stunned if Celtic lost at Kilmarnock. That's what makes this race so intriguing.

Celtic also needed late salvation in the match with Dundee in the Cup last weekend and it is becoming a bad habit.
