Youths step up title bid

Celtic’s youth side can take a significant step towards winning the championship by beating Hibs at Lennoxtown today, kick-off 1pm.

Stevie Frail’s side require seven points from their last three matches to take the title- assuming that Rangers win all five of their remaining matches which are all away from home.

Rangers face Aberdeen today with a 1.30pm kick off knowing that they must win and hope for results elsewhere to keep their hopes alive- a bit like the first team situation in reverse.

After today Celtic have to play Hibs at home and finish the campaign away to Hearts on May 1, three days after the SFA Youth Cup Final against Rangers at Hampden.
