ANDREW NEWPORT: They’re all within touching distance. Nine points might enough for both Celtic and Rangers and with five games to go they should fancy their chances while Hearts are sitting pretty too. FRASER WILSON: Celtic and Rangers are in a strong position to cement a play-off spot which was the realistic target at the outset.
Looking at the remaining fixtures a top eight spot looks a little out of reach. Hearts however have a great chance to gain automatic last 16 qualification which would be remarkable given their start to the season. GRAEME YOUNG: Celtic and Hearts look in good shape but Philippe Clement's side face four consecutive games as the underdog against Olympiacos, Nice, Spurs and Man Utd.
Just one seismic result will keep them in the hunt for when they take on Union Saint Gilloise in January. ANDREW: That they have to reach the standards they hit on Thursday if they’re to have any chance at all.
Drop below it and you get what we saw at Rugby Park. FRASER: They did a professional job and scored some excellent goals but the Romanians were poor.
