Derek McInnes’ team currently holds a narrow lead over Rangers, with just a single point separating them following the weekend’s results. Their advantage over Celtic has also diminished to three points. On Monday, 4 May, McInnes’ squad will face Rangers at home in a crucial fixture.

Rangers are set to conclude their league campaign with a third away match against Falkirk. Due to an unbalanced fixture schedule — a consequence of Falkirk being predicted to finish in the bottom half of the standings — they have one additional home game compared to other clubs. Falkirk will also host Hibs for a third time and make their third trips to Celtic Park and Tynecastle.

In the bottom half of the table, where relegation battles involve five teams, Livingston currently sit at the bottom and have one extra away match while playing one fewer home game. The final matches for the bottom six teams are scheduled for Sunday, 17 May, with Dundee welcoming Aberdeen, Kilmarnock traveling to Livingston, and St Mirren hosting Dundee United.

Following this weekend’s fixtures, the Premiership will pause for two weeks to accommodate international matches and the Scottish Cup semi-finals. League action will resume on 25 April with several encounters: Celtic hosting Falkirk in the top half, Aberdeen facing Kilmarnock, and Livingston visiting St Mirren. The next day sees Rangers take on Motherwell, while Dundee United will host the last Dundee derby. Matchdays will continue through early to mid-May, culminating with the top six’s final day on 16 May and the bottom half concluding on 17 May. Notably, Hearts’ appearance at Celtic Park on the final day of the top half marks 28 years since their victory over Rangers at the same venue to win the Scottish Cup during the renovation of Hampden Park
