Celtic Set to Host Hearts on Season Finale as Post-Split Fixtures Unveiled

The final matchday of the season will see Celtic face off against Hearts, with the game broadcast live on Sky Sports, in a potential title decider following the reveal of the Scottish Premiership's post-split fixtures. Hearts, currently leading the league by a single point over Rangers and three points over Celtic, will play two home games and three away games in the run-up to the split. Their schedule starts with an Edinburgh derby against Hibernian on April 26, live on Sky Sports, followed by a home match against Rangers on May 4, and then away to Motherwell on May 9, with both games also broadcast on Sky. They will then host Falkirk at Tynecastle Park on May 13 before concluding their season against Celtic at Parkhead on May 16. Rangers, under Danny Röhl, will play three of their last five matches away from home, beginning with a home game against Motherwell on April 26. They then travel to face Hearts on May 4 and Celtic on May 10, with both matches live on Sky Sports, before hosting Hibernian on May 13 and ending their season at Falkirk on May 16. Meanwhile, reigning champions Celtic will have the advantage of playing three of their final five games at home, starting with a match against Falkirk on April 25, live on Sky Sports. Martin O'Neill's team will then travel to face Hibernian on May 3 before hosting Rangers on May 10, with both games broadcast on Sky Sports. They will then play Motherwell at Fir Park on May 13 before their season-ending clash with Hearts in Glasgow's east end on May 16. The team that secures fourth place will be guaranteed a spot in the Conference League qualifiers, a position currently held by Motherwell, who lead the race despite three defeats in their last four games. Motherwell are three points ahead of Hibernian and will meet them on May 16 at Easter Road. Their schedule also includes matches against Rangers on April 26, Falkirk on May 2, Hearts on May 9 - live on Sky Sports - and Celtic on May 13. Hibernian, managed by David Gray, will face Edinburgh rivals Hearts on April 26 and Celtic on May 3, both live on Sky Sports, before traveling to face Rangers at Ibrox on May 13. Both Hibernian and Motherwell could still secure a European spot if Celtic win the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, despite needing to bridge an eight-point gap with Motherwell for an automatic European spot, are in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, providing them with another potential route to European competition. Livingston, with only one league win all season, are 11 points adrift of safety and face a challenging run-in, starting with a match against Dundee United, followed by games against St Mirren on April 25, Aberdeen on May 1, Dundee on May 9, Dundee United on May 12, and Kilmarnock on May 17. Kilmarnock, three points behind the teams above the relegation play-off spot, will start their season run-in away to Aberdeen on April 25, then face Dundee United on May 2, St Mirren on May 9, Dundee on May 12, and Livingston on May 17. St Mirren and Aberdeen, tied on 30 points, will face each other on May 12 at Pittodrie, with Aberdeen's schedule also including matches against Kilmarnock on April 25, Livingston on May 1, Dundee United on May 9, and Dundee on May 17. St Mirren's run-in includes games against Livingston on April 25, Dundee on May 2, Kilmarnock on May 9, Aberdeen on May 12, and Dundee United on May 17. Dundee, with 32 points, are two points clear of St Mirren and Aberdeen, while Dundee United are five points ahead, having missed out on a top-six spot. The two city rivals meet on April 26 at Tannadice Park, aiming for a positive end to the campaign.
