    Is Scottish Premiership title race the most exciting in Europe?

    Sunday was a dramatic day in the three-way battle for the Scottish Premiership title.

    First up, Celtic came from two goals down to snatch a 3-2 victory at Kilmarnock – with Julian Araujo scoring the winner in the seventh minute of stoppage time.

    Then there was a six-pointer between Rangers and Hearts at Ibrox. Twice the away side took the lead, only for a Youssef Chermiti hat-trick to transform the game and give Danny Rohl’s side a 4-2 win.

    It left the three teams separated by just three points: Hearts on 57, Rangers on 55 and Celtic on 54.

    Celtic have a game in hand, away at Aberdeen on 4 March, which could leave the trio within two points of each other.

    There are several close two-team title races across Europe.

    In France, there is just one point between Lens and Paris St-Germain.

    And in Spain, Real Madrid are two points behind Barcelona with a game in hand.

    But in both those leagues there is a sizeable gap to third place.

    Can any other European league rival the drama of Scotland? BBC Sport has picked out the five closest title battles.
