Celtic to Face Hearts on Season Finale as Post-Split Schedule Unveiled

The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the Scottish Premiership season as Celtic prepares to host Hearts on the final day, with the match broadcast live on Sky Sports. This showdown could potentially decide the league title. Currently, Hearts lead the pack with a one-point advantage over Rangers and a three-point lead over Celtic. Prior to the split, each team has several crucial matches to play, with Hearts facing two home games and three away games. Their journey begins with an Edinburgh derby against Hibernian on April 26, also live on Sky Sports. Subsequent matches include hosting Rangers on May 4, traveling to Motherwell on May 9, and facing Falkirk at Tynecastle Park on May 13, before the final match against Celtic at Parkhead on May 16. Rangers, under Danny Röhl, will play three of their last five matches away from home, starting with a home game against Motherwell on April 26. They then visit Hearts on May 4 and Celtic on May 10, with both games broadcast on Sky Sports. Their final home match is against Hibernian on May 13, followed by a season-ending trip to Falkirk on May 16. Celtic, the current champions, will enjoy the comfort of their home turf three times in their last five games. They kick off against Falkirk on April 25, live on Sky Sports, then travel to face Hibernian on May 3 before hosting Rangers on May 10. A match against Motherwell at Fir Park on May 13 precedes their season finale against Hearts. The race for the fourth spot, which guarantees a place in the Conference League qualifiers, is led by Motherwell, who are three points ahead of Hibernian. Despite recent setbacks, Motherwell's position looks promising, with key matches against Rangers, Falkirk, Hearts, and Celtic before their final encounter with Hibernian on May 16. Hibernian, meanwhile, will face Hearts and Celtic in crucial matches on April 26 and May 3, respectively, both broadcast on Sky Sports, before meeting Rangers at Ibrox on May 13. Both Motherwell and Hibernian could still secure European spots, especially if Celtic wins the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, though eight points behind Motherwell, remains in contention through the Scottish Cup semi-finals, offering them an alternative route to European competition. At the other end of the table, Livingston faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation, sitting 11 points adrift of safety with matches against St Mirren, Aberdeen, Dundee, Dundee United, and Kilmarnock looming. Kilmarnock, three points behind the safety line, will face Aberdeen, Dundee United, St Mirren, Dundee, and Livingston in their bid to escape the relegation play-off spot. St Mirren and Aberdeen, tied on 30 points, are directly above Kilmarnock and face their own challenges, with matches against Livingston, Dundee, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, and Dundee United for St Mirren, and Kilmarnock, Livingston, Dundee United, Dundee, and St Mirren for Aberdeen. Dundee and Dundee United, with 32 and 37 points respectively, look to finish the season on a positive note, starting with their meeting on April 26. The season's conclusion promises excitement and unpredictability, with numerous teams vying for different objectives.
