Nine games to go, four teams in the mix and one title to fight for. The Scottish Premiership has rarely been so exciting. As things stand, Heart of Midlothian, who have not finished higher than third since 2006, lead the pack by five points, with defending champions Celtic the leaders' nearest challengers. Last season's runners-up, Rangers, are still in contention, a point off Celtic, and Motherwell sit fourth, four points behind Rangers, as they seek to finish as high or higher than their third-placed finish in 2014. But will the deciding factor be who is in the dugout come trophy day?
