Celtic are a solitary victory away after picking up a point against Motherwell before Rangers slipped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Aberdeen.

It's suggested league chiefs have been urged to avoid a May 6/7 fixture between Celtic and Rangers at Ibrox over police fears.
Instead, the encounter could take place on May 20/21 which is the third round of the split, or even placed in a midweek slot on May 23/24.
