Immortality beckons - but Hearts must overcome Celtic & weight of history
For Heart of Midlothian, the tantalising, scarcely-believable, bottom line is this: after 66 years they may be crowned champions of Scotland on Wednesday.
A large asterisk must sit beside that sentence, of course. For history to happen, Hearts must beat Falkirk at Tynecastle and Celtic lose to Motherwell at Fir Park.
Few can see it turning out this way, but Hearts' home record is exceptional and Motherwell have already beaten Celtic this season. Schooled them, in fact.
That was in Wilfried Nancy's time, though. A relative lifetime ago.
