Celtic finale awaits Motherwell as Rangers test brings start of crucial top six fixtures

Motherwell will finish the 2021/22 Premiership season with a trip to Celtic as they look to book a European spot next term.

The Steelmen begin their final five matches with a home tie against Rangers, before two crucial games away to Dundee United and Ross County.

Hearts come to Fir Park midweek next month before potentially being the visitors for a title party at Celtic Park on matchday 38. The Hoops currently lead at the summit by six points.

Graham Alexander's side snuck into the top six despite a run of one league win 13 matches on Saturday thanks to a dramatic 2-2 draw with Livingston.

Having found themselves 2-0 down, Callum Slattery pulled a goal back, before Ricki Lamie headed home in the 93rd minute to spark bedlam among away fans.

The Rangers and Celtic matches will be broadcast live via Sky Sports.

'Well are sixth in the table and know that the top five could result in European placement, depending on who wins the Scottish Cup.

Calum Beattie, SPFL Company Secretary & Director of Operations, said: "We know that fans have been eagerly awaiting the news of this year’s cinch Premiership post-split fixtures, given there is so much still to play for right across the division.

“Planning for the different permutations has been a bit different this year, with seven clubs competing for the final three spots in the top six before round 33.

"It was an incredible Saturday afternoon of football, with dramatic late goals for Ross County and Motherwell seeing them join Celtic, Rangers, Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United in the top six.

“We are pleased to be able to announce the post-split fixture list and TV selections today.

"It is going to be a really exciting conclusion to the season, with the title race and battle to avoid relegation and the play-off still to be concluded, and the quest for European places also set to go down to the wire.

“Everyone at the SPFL hopes supporters enjoy the post-split matches and wish all 12 cinch Premiership clubs the very best of luck for the rest of the season.”
