Since the Scottish Premier League was formed in 1998, no team has come from 10 points behind to win the title so late in the season. The biggest comeback in the last 28 years was when Celtic overhauled a seven-point gap to Rangers with seven games left in 2007-08. So while Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic will take points off each other, Motherwell will have to be close to flawless over the final 11 games to win the league. Askou, the calm and assured Dane, has never shown even a flicker of getting carried away regardless. "We try not to be really too fussed about how people talk about us," Askou said.
