The Scottish Premier League will have a helicopter on standby to deliver the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trophy if the title race goes down to the final day of the season. Defending champions Celtic host Hearts, while Rangers travel to Dundee United.

SPL spokesman Greig Mailer told the News of the World: "It's happened so often in recent years that it's almost become part and parcel of the run-in.

"The helicopter is on standby for the last day.

"It costs around £5,000 and if things continue to be as tight as they are currently, it will leave from an airport in Cumbernauld shortly after the games kick off."
