Heart of Midlothian and Celtic may find themselves battling for the Premiership trophy on the final weekend of the season in Glasgow on Saturday, 16 May, following the release of the post-split fixture list by the SPFL.

Once this weekend’s 33rd matches are completed, the Premiership will separate into two groups of six. Rangers remain firmly involved, making it a three-way contest for the title.

The final Celtic–Rangers meeting, with the champions hosting, has been scheduled for Sunday, 10 May, three rounds before the end of the campaign.

Hearts kick off their post-split run with an away Edinburgh derby against Hibernian on Sunday, 26 April.

Derek McInnes’ squad, whose lead over Rangers shrank to a single point last weekend, are set to welcome the Ibrox side on Monday, 4 May.

Rangers will conclude their league season with a third trip to Falkirk. Due to a fixture imbalance, stemming from expectations that Falkirk would finish in the bottom six, the club has ended up with one additional home match compared to the rest.

In the bottom half of the table, five sides remain in danger of relegation.

The last round of bottom-six matches is set for Sunday, 17 May, when Dundee host Aberdeen, Kilmarnock travel to Livingston, and St Mirren face Dundee United at home.

After this weekend, the Premiership will pause for a two-week international break before returning on 25 April. On that date, Celtic play Falkirk in the top half, while Aberdeen host Kilmarnock and Livingston head to St Mirren.

The following day, Rangers take on Motherwell, and Dundee United meet Dundee in the final city derby of the season.

The remaining post-split fixtures will take place over the weekends of 2-3 May and 9-10 May, along with midweek matches on 12-13 May. The top-six schedule wraps up on 16 May, followed by the bottom-six finale on 17 May.
