What a few weeks we have in store as the most incredible season in living memory reaches a climax. Rangers have put themselves in a fantastic position to end it in glorious fashion.

Hearts and Celtic will be feeling the same thing, of course, and anyone who claims with any great certainty that they know how it's going to unravel is at it.

First things first, Rangers have to deal with a Motherwell side that were justifiably well represented in the PFA's Team of the Year but that are currently enduring their worst run of form of the season.

Rangers won't be taking them lightly, however. They will have watched their last outing against Hearts and realise the 3-1 scoreline disguises the fact Motherwell could have been two or three up before the league leaders mounted an impressive comeback.

Danny Rohl will surely also be impressing upon his players that they cannot afford to start any of their final five fixtures in the manner they began their most recent match against Falkirk.

Sure, they recovered to trounce John McGlynn's side in the end, but such sloppiness will surely be punished if it is allowed to creep in during the final straight.

The psychological aspect of this title run-in is fascinating. Arguably the team that deals best with the pressure will come out on top in the end.

Rangers will probably expect to be third by the time they kick off against Motherwell on Sunday, with Celtic at home to Falkirk the previous evening, but they could be top by the close of play if things go their way with a victory at Ibrox and a Hearts slip-up away to Hibs.

But it's impossible to predict, so let's just wait and see what transpires over another fascinating weekend.
