Celtic Set to Host Hearts on Season Finale as Post-Split Fixtures Are Announced

The Scottish Premiership has unveiled its post-split fixtures, with Celtic scheduled to face Hearts on the final day of the season in a match that could potentially decide the title, broadcasting live on Sky Sports. Currently, Hearts lead the league by one point over Rangers and three points over Celtic, with each team having several matches remaining before the split takes effect. Hearts, who are seeking their first top-flight title since 1960, will play two home games and three away games in the run-in, starting with the final Edinburgh derby of the season against Hibernian on April 26, also live on Sky Sports. They will then host Rangers on May 4 and travel to Motherwell on May 9, with both games broadcast on Sky, before facing Falkirk at Tynecastle Park on May 13. Their last match of the season will be against reigning champions Celtic at Parkhead on May 16. Rangers, managed by Danny Röhl, will also be away for three of their last five matches, starting with a home game against Motherwell on April 26. They will then visit Hearts on May 4 and face Celtic in the final Old Firm showdown of the season at Celtic Park on May 10, with both games live on Sky Sports. Their last home game will be against Hibernian on May 13, and they will conclude the season at Falkirk on May 16. Meanwhile, Celtic will play three of their last five games at home, beginning with a match against Falkirk on April 25, live on Sky Sports. Martin O'Neill's side will then visit Hibernian on May 3 and host Rangers on May 10, both broadcast on Sky Sports. They will face Motherwell at Fir Park on May 13 before the season-ending clash with Hearts in Glasgow's east end on May 16. The team that finishes fourth will secure a spot in the Conference League qualifiers, with Motherwell currently leading this race. Despite three defeats in four games, Jens Berthel Askou's side are three points above Hibernian, and the two teams will meet on May 16 at Easter Road. Motherwell also have matches against Rangers on April 26, Falkirk on May 2, Hearts on May 9 - live on Sky Sports - and Celtic on May 13. David Gray's Hibernian will take on Edinburgh rivals Hearts on April 26 and Celtic on May 3, both on Sky Sports, before facing Rangers at Ibrox on May 13. Both clubs could still secure a European place if Celtic win the league and the Scottish Cup. Falkirk would need to make up eight points on Motherwell to land an automatic European spot but are in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, providing another potential route to European competition for John McGlynn's side. Livingston, with just one league win all season, are 11 points adrift of safety and face a challenging run-in. After their final pre-split game against Dundee United, they will face 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 relegation. Kilmarnock, who face Dundee next, are three points behind the teams above them as they strive to move out of the relegation play-off spot. Their season run-in begins away to Aberdeen on April 25, followed by matches against 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, managed by Stephen Robinson, will face his former club on May 12 at Pittodrie. Aberdeen's run-in includes games 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. St Mirren, League Cup winners and Scottish Cup semi-finalists, will face Livingston on April 25, Dundee on May 2, Kilmarnock on May 9, Aberdeen on May 12, and Dundee United on May 17. Dundee are two points clear of the bottom two, on 32 points in eighth place, while Dundee United are five points further ahead, having missed out on a top-six spot. The city rivals meet on April 26 at Tannadice Park as they both seek a positive end to the campaign.
