Rangers vs Celtic fixture date announced as SPFL confirm post-split matches

Rangers will play Celtic in the final derby clash of the season on May 13.

The SPFL released the post-split fixtures on today with just five matches left this season.

And eyes of players, managers and fans of Celtic and Rangers alike will have raced to discover when the last derby of the season will be played at Ibrox.

The match will kick-off at 12:30pm on Saturday May 13 and coverage will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The schedule for the final five fixture rounds has now been confirmed, with 30 games to be played across the weekend of May 6/7, the weekend of May 13/14, the weekend of May 20/21, the midweek of May 23/24, and the weekend of May 27/28.

The final fixtures in this season’s Premiership top six will take place on Saturday May 27, while the Premiership bottom six will conclude on Sunday May 28.

Celtic will have the opportunity to secure the title when they face Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle on Sunday May 7, live on Sky Sports, kick-off 2.15pm.

Calum Beattie, SPFL Chief Operating Officer, said: “We know there is always a great deal of interest around the publication of the post-split fixtures and I am pleased to be able to announce the fixtures and TV selections for the final phase of the cinch Premiership season today.

“There is still so much to play for, and it promises to be a hugely exciting run-in.

“It’s a later finish to the season than normal because of the winter World Cup in Qatar so next season will begin a week later, with the group stage of the Viaplay Cup starting on July 15 and the 2023/24 League campaign getting under way on August 5.”
