Celtic to Welcome Hearts on Season's Final Day as Post-Split Fixtures Are Announced

Celtic will face off against Hearts on the season's last day, a match that could potentially decide the title, with the Scottish Premiership post-split fixtures now revealed. Hearts, currently leading the league, are one point ahead of Rangers and three points clear of Celtic, with several crucial matches still to come before the split takes effect. As Hearts strive to win their first top-flight title since 1960, they will play two home games and three away games, starting with the final Edinburgh derby of the season against Hibernian on April 26. This will be followed by a home match against Rangers on May 4 and an away game against Motherwell on May 9, with both matches broadcast live on Sky Sports. Their final match of the season will be against reigning champions Celtic at Parkhead on May 16. Rangers, under the management of Danny Röhl, will also play three of their last five matches away from home, hosting Motherwell in their first post-split match on April 26. They then travel to face Hearts on May 4 and Celtic on May 10, with both games live on Sky Sports, before hosting Hibernian on May 13 and ending the season at Falkirk on May 16. Meanwhile, Celtic, the current champions, will play three of their last five games at home, starting with a match against Falkirk on April 25, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Martin O'Neill's side will then travel to face Hibernian on May 3 before hosting Rangers on May 10, with both matches shown on Sky Sports. They will then face Motherwell at Fir Park on May 13 before the season-ending clash with Hearts. The team that finishes fourth will secure 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 face Rangers on April 26, Falkirk on May 2, Hearts on May 9, and Celtic on May 13. Hibernian, managed by David Gray, will take on Edinburgh rivals Hearts on April 26 and Celtic on May 3, both live on Sky Sports, before facing Rangers at Ibrox on May 13. Both clubs still have a chance to secure a European place if Celtic win the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, despite needing to make up eight points on Motherwell to secure 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 tough run-in, starting with a match against Dundee United, followed by games against St Mirren, Aberdeen, Dundee, Dundee United again, and Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock, three points behind the teams above them, will face Dundee next, before taking on Aberdeen, Dundee United, St Mirren, Dundee, and Livingston in their bid to avoid the relegation play-off spot. St Mirren and Aberdeen, tied on 30 points, will face each other on May 12 at Pittodrie, with both teams battling to avoid relegation. The Dons will also face Kilmarnock, Livingston, Dundee United, and Dundee in their remaining matches. St Mirren's run-in includes games against Livingston, Dundee, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, and Dundee United. Dundee are two points clear of the relegation zone, 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, both seeking a positive end to the campaign.
