Soccer
The last time Heart of Midlothian FC were champions of Scotland was at the end of the 1959/60 league season. We are familiar with a two-horse race in the Scottish Premiership, but this season it’s not the Old Firm dominating, but one side from Glasgow and one from Edinburgh – both unbeaten so far in the league. Hearts host Celtic at the weekend. A win for either side could prove pivotal. – Sunday, Sky Sports
