Post Split Fixtures

[Not In The Know]

Any ideas if we are "due one" and will get 3 home and 2 away? Also it feels like we always seem to get Celtic before they have the League won.

We should have another Home game against Dundee Utd & St Mirren if they make it

Away games due, Motherwell, Hearts if they make it!! Celtic and Aberdeen (could be vital).

We've currently played 16 home games and 15 away. One away game and one home game left to play before the split, so it will be 17 home and 15 away. Based on the 19 home and away fixtures, we'll be due 2 home fixtures and 3 away fixtures post split.

Edit:

At the split, we'll have played:
Celtic - Hx2, Ax1
Rangers - Hx1, Ax2
Aberdeen - Hx2, Ax1
Dundee Utd - Hx1, Ax2
Hearts - Hx2, Ax1
St Mirren - Hx1, Ax2
Motherwell - Hx2, Ax1
Ross County - Hx1, Ax2

So, if the top 6 stays as is, we'd probably have Rangers and Dundee Utd at home, the others away, though not sure what their games look like, so something might change.

Could be wrong, but isn't it also something to do with previous few season's performance? So in finishing bottom six the previous season wont help. Then again, Dundee United are just promoted.

I could of course be totally making this up.

IIRC it's actually based on predictions on who will be top 6 before a ball is even kicked

Q&A on the SPFL website from last season:

As it stands
Celtic due 2 at home and 3 away
Rangers due 3 at home and 2 away
Hibs due 2 at home and 3 away
Aberdeen due 2 at home and 3 away
Dundee Utd due 3 at home and 2 away
Hearts due 3 at home and 2 away
St Mirren due 2 at home and 3 away
Motherwell due 3 at home and 2 away

Maybe someone a bit brighter than me an work out the balance of home and away post split
Only thing in my thoughts, are if St Mirren get 6th😀, do they send Hibs to Paisley 3 times, or do we get to play them at home. If it’s the likes of Motherwell, would we be sent 3 times to them

Yep id guess Rangers and Dundee Utd at home. So it's vital for us the order the fixtures fall, they may rig it so our game V the sheep is the last of the season.


Hertz A
Dundee Utd H
Celtic A (title in the bag them on their holidays)
Huns H
Dons A

Would be the way id like them.

could easily be that fixture list in a slightly different order

Fixture rounds 34-38 will be played on the weekends of April 26/27, May 3/4, May 10/11, the midweek of May 13/14 and the weekend of May 17/18.

The midweek game date could be interesting depending who we play especially between the final game and game on 10th/11th.

[Trinity Hibee]

Just hope we play Celtic after they’ve won the league

[JohnM1875]

Just hope we play Celtic after they’ve won the league

Knowing our luck in getting Celtic this season we’ll be away first game post-split.

[CapitalGreen]

Just hope we play Celtic after they’ve won the league

Ideal would be

11/05 Rangers v Celtic
14/05 Celtic v Hibs

Celtic already league champions and tired after Old Firm exertions

[flash]

Knowing our luck in getting Celtic this season we’ll be away first game post-split.

It wouldn't be luck. The SPFL decide who plays who and when. Celtics first two games after the split should be whoever finishes 6th and Rangers.

Won't be though.

Absolutely ideal would be that we have third sewn up by those games, and we're the ones on the beach and playing the kids.

Like Rangers never playing Celtic first game - have they ever played last game of the split ?

I know they always try avoid the scenario of winning the league at an old firm game.

Game seems pretty rigged at times to suit old firm.

Just read also that Celtic keeper Schmeichel is to miss 6 weeks supposedly.

I would guess not as this would be "trophy day" for whoever has won the league so this would probably be avoided as well.

Utterly ridiculous that out of a batch of only 5 games there's 2 weeks where 2 teams aren't allowed to play each other and to hell with everyone else!

Probably 3 game weeks in total where Old Firm won’t play each other.

Will they have an old firm game midweek? Not sure if they would allow that either so possibly another date to rule out.

Good point that I hadn't thought of.

They play each other at Hampden in finals so I really don't get why they shouldn't play each other while there's at least something at stake.

Selfishly hoping one of the home games is the midweek slot.

Not sure what the "ideal" looks like others than broadly agreeing about getting OF when nothing to play for (arguably this is already the case).

1st 8th May are the Europa League semis, if the currants get there. Could alter things.

I hope they get the fixtures sorted out asap, fancy going to one. Last time took agesor felt it did.

They can't do it till it's mathematically done. But when they release it they will have already done the amended kick off times for tv so at least that's something!
