CLAUD NINE

Jambos 21/10 to move further clear of tired Hoops and Braga 7/3 to grab another huge goal

- 

IT'S a huge weekend in the Premiership title race and all eyes will be on Tynecastle tomorrow as Hearts look to move nine points clear of champions Celtic.

The Jambos have shown they've got the minerals for a crack at the crown, which might be a bit of a concern as Donald Trump could set his sights on invading Tynecastle next.

Unlike the increasingly unhinged commander in chief, nobody could question the character of Derek McInnes' players after grinding out wins with 10 men in their last two Premiership outings.

But they now face an even bigger test of nerve as they go into battle against the Hoops without their top scorer and two midfield mainstays.

Losing Lawrence Shankland for up to two months could prove costly for Hearts and it will probably hit me in the pocket too after I backed him for Premiership top scorer before a ball was kicked.

The one positive for McInnes is that he has some firepower in reserve, with Elton Kabangu and Pierre Landry Kabore decent backups and new boy Rogers Mato also checking in.

But the loss of Cammy Devlin and Beni Baningime in midfield for tomorrow's match is more serious. The tigerish duo have been a key part of the title push this season and the Jambos don't have many options with the likes of Oisin McEntee and Ageu also sidelined.
