Actually it's even worse in Scotland.
1. Celtic. 76.
2. Rangers. 60.
3. Hearts. 47.
4. Dunfermline 38.
5. Motherwell. 36.
1st place is decided, 2nd place is decided, 3rd place is pretty much decided. 6th-11th are seperated by 4 points! .. so it's a good thing that two teams go down otherwise it would be totally boring. Partick Thistle are 14 points adrift at the bottom.
