Celtic to Face Hearts on Season Finale as Post-Split Schedule Unveiled
The final day of the season will see Celtic host Hearts, potentially deciding the title, as the Scottish Premiership post-split fixtures have been announced. Hearts, currently leading the league by a single point over Rangers and three points over Celtic, have a series of challenging matches ahead, including a home game against Rangers and an away match against Hibernian. Their last game of the season will be against Celtic. Rangers, managed by Danny Röhl, will also face tough opponents in their final five matches, including an away game against Hearts and the last Old Firm showdown of the season at Celtic Park. Celtic, the current champions, will play three of their last five games at home, starting with a match against Falkirk. The battle for a spot in the Conference League qualifiers is also heating up, with Motherwell currently in the lead. The team that finishes fourth will be guaranteed a spot in the qualifiers. Meanwhile, Hibernian and Motherwell are still in the running for a European place if Celtic wins the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, although eight points behind Motherwell, could still secure an automatic European spot by winning the Scottish Cup. Livingston, with only one league win, is 11 points adrift of safety and faces a tough run-in. Kilmarnock, three points behind the teams above them, is fighting to avoid the relegation play-off spot. St Mirren and Aberdeen are tied on 30 points and will face each other on May 12. Dundee and Dundee United will meet on April 26, both seeking a positive end to the season.
