Celtic fans will be eager to find out who their side will face in the final matches of the Scottish Premiership campaign.
The Bhoys hold a four-point advantage at the league summit following a dramatic weekend on league duty, which started off in ideal fashion as Brendan Rodgers’ side put St Mirren to the sword, claiming a 3-0 victory.
Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Adam Idah produced the goods for Celtic in the second half, calming any nerves over a goalless 45 minutes at Parkhead.
Attention then turned to Rangers’ match in Dingwall against Ross County, which was one of their two games in hand, with the other against Dundee this Wednesday.
In shock fashion, Philippe Clement’s outfit lost 3-2 in the Highlands, keeping our advantage intact at the top and improving Celtic’s league-winning chances.
Despite this, there is still a long way to go this season. The Bhoys can’t afford to take their eye off the ball or become complacent, knowing they have five tough matches left in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic find out when post-split fixtures could be announced
Per The Daily Record, Celtic won’t find out the order of their post-split Scottish Premiership encounters until after Dundee’s home clash against Rangers is concluded on Wednesday.
The Dees still have an extremely slim chance of leapfrogging St Mirren and moving into fifth position, provided they defeat Rangers by five goals at Dens Park.
Despite the unlikely nature of this scenario, the SPFL cannot sanction the release of fixtures until it is mathematically off the table. League positions need to be set in stone before they have a basis to announce the post-split matches
Speaking to the outlet, an SPFL source added: “The fixture announcement will be after all games have been played. The way the timetabling of the fixtures are set is dependant on the confirmed placings on the table.”
Unfortunately, it appears we may need to wait a little longer than anticipated, which is bound to breed frustration among supporters of the six involved clubs.
