Celtic Set to Host Hearts on Season's Final Day as Post-Split Schedule Unveiled

The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the season as Celtic prepares to host Hearts on the final day, with the match broadcast live on Sky Sports, potentially determining the title winner. Currently, Hearts leads the pack by a single point over Rangers and three points over Celtic, with each team having several crucial matches to play before the split takes effect. Hearts, who are on the cusp of claiming their first top-flight title since 1960, will face two home games and three away games in their run-in, starting with the final Edinburgh derby of the season against Hibernian on April 26, live on Sky Sports. They then host Rangers on May 4, travel to Motherwell on May 9, and face Falkirk at Tynecastle Park on May 13, before concluding their season against Celtic at Parkhead on May 16. Rangers, under the guidance of Danny Röhl, will be away from home in three of their final five matches, beginning with a home game against Motherwell on April 26. They then visit Hearts on May 4 and Celtic on May 10, with both matches broadcast live on Sky Sports, followed by their final home game of the season against Hibernian on May 13, and ending the season at Falkirk on May 16. Champions Celtic will enjoy the comfort of their home turf three times in their final five games, commencing with a match against Falkirk on April 25, live on Sky Sports. Martin O'Neill's side then travels to Hibernian on May 3, hosts Rangers on May 10, and visits Motherwell on May 13, before the season concludes with a clash against 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. As it stands, Motherwell leads this race despite suffering three defeats in their last four games. Jens Berthel Askou's side holds a three-point advantage over Hibernian, with the two teams set to meet on May 16 at Easter Road. Motherwell's schedule includes matches against Rangers on April 26, Falkirk on May 2, Hearts on May 9, and Celtic on May 13. David Gray's Hibernian will face Edinburgh rivals Hearts on April 26 and Celtic on May 3, both live on Sky Sports, and then visit Rangers at Ibrox on May 13. Both clubs are still in the running for a European place, should Celtic emerge as league champions and claim the Scottish Cup. Falkirk, despite needing to make up eight points on Motherwell to secure an automatic European spot, remains in contention due to their presence in the Scottish Cup semi-finals. Winning the cup would provide John McGlynn's side with an alternative route to European competition, adding to what has already been a remarkable season. Livingston, with only one league win all season, finds themselves 11 points adrift of safety. Following their final pre-split game against Dundee United, they will face a series of challenging matches against St Mirren on April 25, Aberdeen on May 1, Dundee on May 9, Dundee United on May 12, and Kilmarnock on May 17 in their battle to avoid immediate relegation back to the Championship. Kilmarnock, who are set to face Dundee next, are three points behind the teams above them as they strive to escape the relegation play-off spot. Their schedule includes away games against Aberdeen on April 25, 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, are the two clubs directly above Kilmarnock. The Dons, under Stephen Robinson, will face their former manager's new club on May 12 at Pittodrie, in addition to matches against Kilmarnock on April 25, Livingston on May 1, Dundee United on May 9, and Dundee on May 17, as they fight to avoid relegation. League Cup winners St Mirren will navigate their run-in with 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, two points clear of the bottom two on 32 points, and Dundee United, five points ahead, having missed out on a top-six spot, will meet on April 26 at Tannadice Park, each seeking a strong finish to the campaign.
