By JAMES ANDERSON

Five clubs dominate Scottish football Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen,

This is proved by a survey of results of the past ten seasons. It reveals that Hibs have been the most attractive highest-scoring side in the country. They have scored 132 more goals than nearest rivals Rangers.

But over those ten seasons there are only three points between the two clubs. These points are in Rangers' favour.
