RANGERS will face Celtic twice in 11 days following the release of the
post-split SPL fixtures tonight.
The Light Blues go to Parkhead on Wednesday, April 16 and they will be back
there on Sunday, April 27 in what will be their first post-split fixture if
they progress in the Scottish Cup and UEFA Cup.
This match will decide the title in Rangers' favour if Celtic lose their
next three matches - Motherwell (a), Rangers (h) and Aberdeen (h) - and fall
to the Light Blues again on the 27th.
The SPL have not scheduled a Rangers fixture for the weekend of April 19 and
20 as the Ibrox men will play St Johnstone at Hampden in the semi-final on
the 20th if they get past Partick Thistle on Sunday.
Instead they have set a home date with Motherwell for Wednesday, May 7.
The outstanding postponements with St Mirren at Love Street and Motherwell
at Fir Park have yet to be fixed.
But it looks like the SPL would put this game on April 20 if Rangers are
stunned by the Jaqs in Sunday's replay as Motherwell have no match that
weekend.
Alternatively, either game could be set for April 23 if Rangers are
eliminated from the UEFA Cup and then April 30.
However, if they march on in Europe it's Fiorentina or PSV on April 24 and
May 1.
The fixtures look like this:
Sunday, April 27 - Celtic (a) ko tbc
Sunday, May 4 - Hibs (a) 2pm
Wednesday, May 7 - Motherwell (h) 7.45pm.
Saturday, May 10 - Dundee Utd (h) 12.30pm
Sunday, May 18 - Aberdeen (a) 1.30pm
