There's jeopardy for both of them, not just from each other but from Hearts and Motherwell, too. The Old Firm are playing catch-up while being hounded from below. "We know that if we're at it, no team in the league touches us," said McCowan the other night. If it wasn't for their ability to score late winners - 87th and 90th minute in two games against St Mirren, 90th minute and 90th minute in two against Kilmarnock, 90th minute against Motherwell - then their title hopes would have already turned to dust. Credit to them for having the bottle to win those games, but they were all desperate grinds.
