Into the stand.

What a weekend it's been in Scottish football! Now League 2, Championship and Premiership bottom teams look utterly doomed as the high-fliers look to cement the titles in the coming weeks.

Starting off down in League 2 Clyde are breathing down the necks of title favourites Peterhead and the west coasters would indeed be top of the league if it weren't for a points deduction earlier in the season. Clyde punished Berwick Rangers 5-0 pretty much confirming that the English side will have to run the relegation gauntlet. Albion Rovers gained a vital 3 points against promotion playoff contenders Edinburgh City in an entertaining 3-2 win at The Reigart Stadium.

Into League 1 and again its the bottom of the league that is exceptionally tight as Arbroath won the championship last week, our Congratulations to them! Meanwhile, at the bottom, Brechin City travelled to Stranraer hoping for a vital three points to stave off double relegation and Stenhousemuir looked to get themselves off the bottom of the league against Playoff certainties Forfar. Brechin City had the worst possible start and were 2-0 down within the first 15 and lost the game 3-0. Forfar also ran out 3 nil winners, the sending off of Andy Munro for foul language towards the referee compounding the misery of the Falkirk side.

The Championship relegation dog fight has once again taken another twist with Dunfermline being hauled back into the fight by Queen of the South who ended their poor run with a 2-1 win over the Fife side. Over in Falkirk, it looks as if Falkirk manager Ray McKinnon's previous team have as good as sealed the fate leaving them bottom of the league with them only left to play the top two sides. Partick Thistle pulled Alloa back into the fight winning 2-1 and ending Alloa's impressive month-long winning streak. At the top of the table, Ross County won 3-1 against Ayr United meaning the Highlanders need just one more point to secure the title and the will be looking to wrap things up with a game to spare at home to Queen of the South. Dundee United are keeping their good from going looking for any weakness in the county results, United will be looking to build momentum into the playoffs and have both Falkirk and Morton to play so Robbie Neilson will be hoping for another 6 points to see out the regular season.

In the Premiership, it was another bumper weekend and the post-split top 6 dominated the headlines. First of all, though the fate of Dundee looks sealed as they would need to win all 4 of their remaining games, a run that they haven't achieved in this campaign and St Mirren are hoping to escape any fear of the drop as they try to catch Hamilton who sits just 2 points ahead of them.

Celtic drew a blank at Easter road meaning Lennon has had 2 consecutive goalless draws one at home and one this week in Edinburgh as Hibernian continue their excellent run under new manager Paul Heckingbottom. Marciano made some class saves to snuff out any of Celtics front line getting the Glasgow side ahead. Celtics right back made himself look like a right diddy after rolling around holding one leg then the other after Mallan made an excellent challenge on the swede. Off the pitch, Hibs have invested in sniffer dogs to stamp out any of the poor behaviours in the stands. Although no pyrotechnics made it on the pitch we were all deeply impressed by the 2 teenagers who showed great pace to outrun the stewards making it almost the entire length of the pitch before being caught.

Hearts hosted Rangers in Edinburgh this weekend also however it was a far poorer weekend for the Jambos as they were on the end of a 3-1 trouncing by the Ibrox side. The game was wrapped up by the veteran striker Steven MacLean giving the Hearts support a few "get it up you" gestures as he made his way back for the restart, this result has put a dampener on any feel-good Levein got from the semi-final win just a week before and he really needs a Hearts win in the derby next week to set things on the straight and narrow again.

Kilmarnock hosted Aberdeen with both teams hoping to close in on the European places and put Rangers under pressure at the tail end of the season. Kilmarnock seemed to cancel Aberdeen out until the with just 10 to play before the break Aberdeen got a huge slice of luck and Kirk Broadfoot was sent off for going for a 50/50 ball with Aberdeen keeper Joe Lewis. Most fans would be disappointed if their players hadn't gone for a similarly loose ball in the box and with no malice or deliberate attempt to hurt the opposition it was a very harsh red card Aberdeen scored and saw the game out but not before 2 further Kilmarnock players had been dismissed in that Steve Clark stated with his usual honesty was "the worst refereeing performance of my career" he has called for McLean who was dropped from the FIFA list in 2017 never to referee a Kilmarnock game again, we win with baited breath to see Clark infant of the SFA once again.
