With the the top three teams in Scotland plus Rangers playing each other, I think tonight could be pivotal for the rest of the season.

If Hibs play their best I think they will win, though will obviously need to score at least two for that to happen. It's hard to tell what version of Hearts will turn up, but I think they'll have a tough night either way.

Hearts usually give Celtic a tough game and I think they'll be 100% up for it tonight again.

Hibs should have won their last two games against Rangers. More of those dodgy and VAR decisions changed those games. I suspect Hibs will make a real game of it tonight.

There will be zero surprises if the game is won or lost on another controversial decision. It's nearly every game.

That Dunfermline goal is a bad one. If you're not sure it has crossed the line you can't give it.

Some sublime football from Rangers tonight and a very convincing win. It was nice to see the same lineup as the previous game and if anything, we should have probably scored more. It was shocking that the ref needed var to award a penalty when the incident happened right in front of him. At least we have the technology in place to help them out. Michael Beale seems to enjoy his trips to the capital.

The gap between second and third place is now bigger than the gap between third to twelfth.

100% don't disagree with that. The weekend game I'm going for the 68th minute in the penalty sweepstake.

Celtic didn't play too well last night. They looked a bit off the pace from the start again and caught cold for another early goal. The odd thing about the goal was the linesman flagged for offside, the VAR lines agreed that Ginnelly was slightly offside, but the correct decision was overturned and the goal awarded.

Bernabei still isn't doing anywhere near enough to justify his price. He does look to be a bit of a waste of money.

Great performance last night from rangers, energy, movement, pressing in packs. As good a performance as any this season, that should be our starting midfield from now on. The three of them were fantastic, Jack especially but cantwell looks to be growing back to his best. Hibs were made to look (or are) terrible.

Hearing Celtic were helped by the refs once again and that bernabei should have been sent off, conspiracies eh?

In a game in our league there is only 50.42 minutes of effective play. 4 minutes less than in the EPL.

Games are being affected by excessive VAR checks and the time taken to conduct a VAR check is taking for too long.

It would be interesting to see a bigger breakdown into each category to show where the time is lost. Also individual club stats.

Lovely goal by Furuhashi to make it 2-0 to Celtic. Apart from a couple of minutes and one save Celtic look comfortable.

Another offside call when it was 3 yards onside. Another dangerous attack stopped for a wrong flag. This should not be happening with VAR.

Yet another ridiculous decision when a stonewall penalty wasn't even reviewed.
