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

The final day of the Scottish Premiership season will see Celtic host Hearts, a match that could potentially decide the title, as the post-split fixtures have been announced. Hearts, currently leading the league by one point over Rangers and three points over Celtic, will face a challenging run-in, including two home games and three away games. Their first match after the split will be against Hibernian on April 26, followed by a home game against Rangers on May 4, and then away to Motherwell on May 9. They will then host Falkirk before concluding the season against Celtic on May 16. Rangers, managed by Danny Röhl, will also have a tough schedule, with three of their last five matches away from home. They will host Motherwell on April 26, then travel to face Hearts on May 4 and Celtic on May 10, before hosting Hibernian and ending the season at Falkirk. Celtic, the current champions, will have three home games in their last five matches, starting with Falkirk on April 25, followed by an away game against Hibernian on May 3, and then hosting Rangers on May 10. They will then travel to face Motherwell before the season-ending match against Hearts. The team that finishes fourth will secure a spot in the Conference League qualifiers, with Motherwell currently leading the race. Motherwell will face Rangers, Falkirk, Hearts, Celtic, and Hibernian in their remaining matches. Hibernian, meanwhile, will take on Hearts, Celtic, and Rangers, and could still secure a European place if Celtic win the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, who are in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, could also win the competition to secure a European spot. Livingston, with only one league win all season, are 11 points adrift of safety and face a difficult run-in, including matches against St Mirren, Aberdeen, Dundee, Dundee United, and Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock, three points adrift of safety, will face Aberdeen, Dundee United, St Mirren, Dundee, and Livingston in their bid to avoid relegation. St Mirren and Aberdeen, tied on 30 points, will face each other on May 12, and will also take on other teams in the lower half of the table as they battle to avoid relegation.
