The much-anticipated final Old Firm clash of the season has been scheduled, marking a pivotal moment in the Scottish Premiership as the post-split fixtures have been confirmed.
Earlier in the week, eager fans awaited the release of the fixtures, only to be met with delays due to the Dundee vs Rangers pitch controversy. However, with that hurdle now passed and the games set to take place, the league bosses have finally unveiled the schedule after Sky’s selection of live broadcasting matches.
Highlighted in the fixture list is a potentially title-defining match on May 11th when Celtic hosts Philippe Clement’s team at Parkhead. Following a crucial victory over St Mirren, Brendan Rodgers’ side now sits in a strong position at the top of the table, as their Glasgow rivals stumbled at Ross County.
Aside from the title race, attention shifts to the battle to avoid the relegation playoff spots. While Livingston appears to be in a precarious position, Ross County’s recent win has injected new life into their campaign, putting pressure on St Johnstone. Meanwhile, Aberdeen aims to secure their safety with another crucial win.
