SPL round-up: Rangers avoided sparking an early title party for Celtic when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Hearts in the Bank of Scotland Premier League.
Defeat at Ibrox would have seen Celtic crowned champions before even kicking a ball this weekend. They now need a win at Kilmarnock tomorrow.
Rangers fell behind to Andrius Velicka's first-half opener but goals from Gavin Rae and Barry Ferguson after the break ensured the champagne remained on ice for the champions-elect for now.
Elsewhere, bottom club Dunfermline moved to within one point of St Mirren as Tam McManus' first goal for the Pars secured a 1-0 victory over Dundee United at East End Park.
McManus volleyed home in style in the 34th minute to continue the fine run Stephen Kenny's side have enjoyed over the past two months.
They have doubled their points tally in that period and must now hope neighbours Falkirk can do them a favour against St Mirren on Monday evening before the two teams meet in a crunch match at Love Street a week later.
