When Are The Post Split Fixtures Announced?

I thought the main objective of the fixtures was to ensure 19 home and away games. I believe us and Aberdeen will only have had 18?

Only St Mirren have a 20-18 split. Everyone else has 19-19.

Huns last game should be a cracker and one i hope we have reduced their allocation.

Guarantee those mutants will find a way to be disruptive and disrespectful during the annual "Tribute to Absent Friends" the club runs. Their allocation should have been cut to the bare minimum after their actions during the tribute to Ron

Hopefully big away crowd for us up at Pittodrie. Also get the Utd game sold out as well 👍🥬🇳🇬

Surely they can’t show 3pm KO’s?
From SPFL website
Please note: Sky Sports may select a Round 37 match (midweek of May 14) in due course

Does that work? Surely someone else needs to be on 18-20?

Presumably one of the bottom 6 teams.

Motherwell.

I'm confident about all the games with the exception of Celtic obvs 👍💚

Thanks both - hard to keep up! :greengrin

Mathematically it's perfectly possible for them to go down.

No need to apologise. Even I once got something wrong.😁

I think we should look at the fixtures as a real positive outcome. We are ahead in points and goal difference, get results from our first two games and the job is done. If we lose these fixtures we still have games left to catch up.

The real gripe I have is SKY showing the Celtic St Mirren game when Celtic will have long won the league and St Mirren will have nothing to play for. It’s crazy and just goes to show how absolutely ridiculous the TV deal is when there could be crucial games going on elsewhere. It’s scandalous.

With a three point and goal difference advantage, I think if we beat Dundee Utd & St Mirren that's enough to see us 3rd.

2 wins for us and they would need 3 wins and a draw from their 5 games to get past us.

I think the sheepies have been given the ideal draw to get level or ahead on points.
1st, their Direct rivals at Home and the Stmirren Away.


Our third game against (presume new champions) 1st home celebration, will be tough.
Gotta do the damage in the first two games Bring it on, :flag:

Last game could be a shootout for the Champions League!

I do think that’s as good a series of fixtures as we could have hoped for. Destiny firmly in our hands - if we beat Aberdeen and Utd first two games up it’s over. St Mirren game a timely chance to snap up any remaining required points between the OF, both of whom we play when their seasons are finished. Feeling confident!

Aberdeen would be effectively 7 points off us (factoring in GD) you suspect Utd would be the same (after losing to Celtic)

They play each other, Aberdeen have both the OF to play and Utd still have Rangers.

We could draw against both Utd and Aberdeen, in fact, and retain all the advantages, thanks to GD

But yeah a win at Pittodrie seals it for me

Games against the Old firm will be key, basically what Old firm turns up against us, Utd and the Dons. The old firm are nowhere near gtd to take full points in those games. Rangers especially are basket cases at the moment.

It is and there will be.

Can I ask if any knows the actual prizes for 3rd 4th 5th.
Does third automatically get into the group stage of the Europa League and does 4th automatically get into the group stage of the Conference League? With 5th in the qualifiers?

All assuming Celtc win the SC.

3rd place is Europa League Playoff, (assuming Celtic win SC), with a safety net of Conference League group stages

If Celtic win Scottish cup, 3rd gets play off in the europa league. Win and you're in group stages of europa league. Lose and you're in group stages of the conference hence guaranteed group stage football.

4th and 5th would be different stages of the conference league qualifiers. Think it's 3rd and 2nd qualifying rounds respectively.

4th is Europa League 2nd qualifying stage

Must be a team in the bottom 6 with a 18/20 split.

With us playing Celtic in the last game and game before cup final

Aberdeen fans already moaning.

Just out of curiosity, where do these kinds of blatantly bollocks rumour come from? Who starts them and why?

I'm genuinely intrigued.

dons play rangers the next night

Totally wrong that finishing 3rd also depends on the cup winners
