Hearts are on the brink of winning their first Scottish league title since 1960 tomorrow.

The Edinburgh club just need at least a draw against Scottish champions Celtic to win their first league title since 1960.

If Hearts achieve their goal of becoming Scottish champions, they will be the first Scottish football club outside of Glasgow to win the Scottish league title since Aberdeen in 1985. That Aberdeen side was managed by the great Sir Alex Ferguson, who went on the win tons of trophies with Manchester United between 1986 and 2013.

Ever since 1985, that honour has gone to either of the two Glasgow giants: Celtic (a Catholic club) or Rangers (a Protestant club).

Hearts - famous for their maroon home shirts - sit top of the table with a narrow lead over Celtic with Rangers in third.

There is at least one Hearts fan travelling from Bournemouth on England's South Coast to Celtic Park in Glasgow to watch the game: Almost travelling from one end of the country to the other end.
