Scottish Premiership split fixtures: Celtic v Rangers date confirmed as top and bottom six schedule revealed

The Scottish Professional Football League released fixtures for rounds 34-38 the day before Dundee and Rangers play their twice-postponed game in hand at Dens Park on Wednesday night.

Celtic, who lead Rangers by four points at the top of the table, will host the Light Blues at 12.30pm on Saturday, May 11, with the game televised live on Sky Sports.

The Hoops are away to Dundee on May 4 and home to Hearts before they face their Glasgow rivals and then play Kilmarnock away, while they finish off the campaign with a home clash with St Mirren.

Philippe Clement’s Gers travel to St Mirren then host Kilmarnock before their trip to Celtic Park, which comes ahead of a home game with Dundee and an away match against Hearts, whom they play in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Sunday.

To achieve the 19/19 home/away balance, five pairings have been reversed in the post-split schedule.

There are four switches in the top six – St Mirren will host Hearts and Rangers for a third time, Celtic will host St Mirren for a third time and Dundee will be at home to Kilmarnock for a third occasion.

In the bottom six, Aberdeen will play St Johnstone at Pittodrie for a third time. The final top-six fixtures will take place on Saturday, May 18, while the bottom six will conclude on Sunday, May 19.
