Hearts and Celtic given potential final-day title decider

Must read

Derek McInnes’ side, whose lead over Rangers was reduced to a point at the weekend, entertain the Ibrox side on Monday, 4 May.

Rangers’ final game of the league season is a third visit to Falkirk, who have one more home game than all the other clubs because of a fixture imbalance due to them being expected to have finished in the bottom half of the table.

In that bottom half, five teams could potentially face relegation.

The final bottom-six fixtures are on Sunday, 17 May, when Dundee will host Aberdeen, Kilmarnock visit Livingston and St Mirren entertain Dundee United.

After this weekend, the Premiership has a two-week hiatus for international fixtures and Scottish Cup semi-finals before resuming on 25 April, when Celtic entertain Falkirk in the top half, while Aberdeen host Kilmarnock and Livingston visit St Mirren.

The following day, Rangers host Motherwell, while United host the final Dundee derby.

The remaining fixtures will be staged over the weekends of 2 and 3 May, 9 and 10 May, the midweek of 12 and 13 May, with the top six finishing on 16 May and the bottom half the following day.
