Celtic leapfrog Rangers with dominant 2-0 victory over Falkirk.
Tomas Cvancara marked his home debut in style for Celtic, scoring the opening goal from Kieran Tierney's cross before Benjamin Nygren added a second. The win propelled Celtic to the top of the table and above their Glasgow rivals, Rangers, who suffered an unexpected defeat against Hibernian.
However, it was not just on the pitch that tensions were running high. The Green Brigade group, who have been under a collective ban over an incident involving stewards and police at a previous match with Falkirk, made their presence known, holding up banners calling for the removal of the board's directors. The loudest chant of the day was "stand up if you hate the board", with many supporters joining in.
Rangers' hopes of catching Hearts were dashed after they drew a blank against Hibernian at Easter Road. The Jambos had added pressure on their rivals with a 3-0 win over Dundee United, but Rangers failed to capitalize on the pressure, instead dropping two points and falling six points behind Hearts.
Hearts continue to dominate the top of the table, with Pierre Landry Kaboré scoring a double in his team's 3-0 win over Dundee United. The Burkinabe forward has been given new lease on life after injury to top scorer Lawrence Shankland.
Motherwell snapped at the heels of the top three with a 2-0 victory over Livingston, with Tawanda Maswanhise scoring twice for the visitors. Meanwhile, Kilmarnock moved six points clear of the bottom of the table with a crushing 3-0 win over Aberdeen, who were left to rue their early red card.
The draw between St Mirren and Dundee was goalless, but the controversy surrounding Jake Young's red card will have managers and fans alike scratching their heads. The decision to send off the Saints' defender has sparked debate, with Stephen Robinson suggesting an appeal against the red card.

! That 2-0 win over Falkirk was a game-changer, and Tomas Cvancara's debut goal was pure magic 
! But I'm not surprised - Celtic has been on fire lately 
. And let's be real, Rangers just got caught off guard 
. Still, Hearts is looking strong with Pierre Landry Kaboré scoring a double 
. The bottom of the table is getting interesting too, especially with Kilmarnock crushing Aberdeen 3-0 
. This season is shaping up to be a wild ride 
I mean, Celtic's win over Falkirk was sick, Tomas Cvancara made a great debut and Benjamin Nygren added some serious firepower to their attack. And you know what's even better? The Green Brigade showing up for Celtic, they're super passionate about the team and it's amazing to see their energy on match day 
. As for Rangers, I feel bad for them, they were looking good to catch Hearts but now they've got a tough road ahead. But you know what they say, when life gives you lemons make lemonade... or in this case, when your team loses make some tea and watch the next match 
!
, and Tomas Cvancara's goal was pure magic 
.
. But at least they've got some competition now, right?
! I'm definitely rooting for Motherwell and Kilmarnock right now, they're keeping things interesting at the bottom of the table.
. Celtic gets a 2-0 win over Falkirk, but what's the point when you know it's going to be a long season? Rangers are still in trouble after losing to Hibernian, and now Hearts is pulling away from everyone. It's like they're just gonna take the title without even trying 
.
... I mean, a 2-0 win over Falkirk is no joke! But, what really got me was the Green Brigade group showin' up and makin' some noise about the board's directors 
And, what's goin' on with all these red cards? The decision to send off Jake Young from St Mirren's match is just...meh 
Tomas Cvancara is absolutely killing it on the pitch, and that second goal by Benjamin Nygren was a total game changer!!! 
On a lighter note, Pierre Landry Kaboré is having an absolute breakthrough season for Hearts and I'm rooting for him all the way!!! 
️ But at the same time, I kinda love how passionate the fans are - all that energy and drama from The Green Brigade group is pretty intense 
Anyway, Motherwell's on fire and Kilmarnock is looking solid so I guess there's some hope for the bottom of the table 
and benjamin nygren adding a second goal was just icing on the cake 
but what's even more exciting is that this win has put them at the top of the table, ahead of their arch-rivals rangers 
now let's see how they bounce back from this unexpected defeat against hibernian... fingers crossed for them! 
. The Green Brigade's protests seem like a manifestation of the fans' frustrations with the board's decisions, and it's not surprising that they made their presence known 
.
.
Tomas Cvancara is living his dream scoring in front of the hoops and all 
and I love how the Green Brigade showed up, showing what it means to support your team and demand change 
️ I'm still trying to figure out that red card for Dundee vs St Mirren tho 
, and Rangers are struggling big time 
. I'm not surprised, given how passionate those fans are about change. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see the board of directors held accountable for their decisions? It's time for some accountability in Scottish football, and I'm glad to see that grassroots movement gaining momentum 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing - the Green Brigade's protest banners and chants are one thing, but the stewards and police altercation? 
! And I have to say, Rangers' hopes of catching Hearts just took a major hit after that 0-0 draw with Hibernian 
. The pressure on the board is definitely mounting, and I'm curious to see how things play out. One thing's for sure - this league is getting more interesting by the minute 
!
but I'm curious to see how they react to being in second place 
Pierre Landry Kaboré's double goal against Dundee United was insane. And Motherwell and Kilmarnock are giving those top three teams some serious competition too.
