The SPL today released the five extra split fixtures for both the Championship and Relegation Sections respectively. Here are some important dates for your diaries:
Sunday 18th April
Rangers v Hearts – 12.30pm
Sunday 25th April
Hibernian v Rangers – 2.30pm
Saturday 1st May
Dundee United v Rangers – 3.00pm
Tuesday 4th May
Celtic v Rangers – 7.45pm
Sunday 9th May
Rangers v Motherwell – 1.30pm
It’s Hearts at Ibrox on Sunday, April 18 and Rangers could be crowned champions that day if they win at Tannadice on Wednesday night and then defeat the Jambos.
Perhaps unexpectedly, Rangers are facing a third trip to Dundee United and will also play Hibs and Celtic away with Motherwell at home on the final day of the season.eat
The only caveat is that Rangers might win the title without kicking a ball if the gap is still 13 points over Celtic going into the split games.
Celtic host Hibs on Saturday, April 17 and if they lose that game then Rangers will be uncatchable.
The final Old Firm game has been scheduled for a Tuesday night – May 4 – with a 7.45pm kick-off.
