Be still my beating Hearts...

Some people say that to find out which football team you should support, you should take a ruler and a map, and find the closest professional club to your place of birth. If I did that, I think I'd get Hearts or Hibs. I've always found the name Heart of Midlothian alluring and charming, and unusually celebral for a football club, being named after a Walter Scott novel.
Now that I've shown you my credentials, I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying the title race for the Sottish Premier League and hoping that Hearts can win. I don't have them as favourites; I'm worried about Celtic's know-how in getting over the line. I think it might go down to the final round, perhaps even the final kick.
