Scottish Premiership post-split TV picks in full as bottom six matches snubbed

Sky Sports will broadcast live coverage of five post-split Scottish Premiership fixtures - but no matches from the bottom six.

The SPFL confirmed the fixture list for the final five weekends of league action this season on Tuesday.

And Sky Sports have announced they will show five matches live to subscribers next month.

The first televised match will see Hearts take on Celtic at Tynecastle on Sunday, May 7 at 2.15pm. Ange Postecoglou's side can clinch the league title in Edinburgh should they win on the road.

Rangers host Celtic in the final derby clash of the league in the second TV match on Saturday, May 13 with a 12.30pm kick-off time.

Hibs play Rangers on Sunday, May 21 in the third TV pick with a 12 noon kick-off time at Easter Road.

Rangers against Hearts at Ibrox is the penultimate TV match on Wednesday, May 24 with a 7.45pm kick-off time in Glasgow.

And on the final day of the top six fixture list, Celtic host Aberdeen on Saturday, May 27 with a 12.30pm kick-off at Parkhead.

All five matches selected for broadcast come from the top half leaving fans of the clubs in the bottom six without TV coverage.

It does, however, leave open the option of possible PPV streams for the clubs in the bottom six with the matches not selected by Sky Sports.

Clubs are allowed to sell up to five home matches on pay-per-view per season should the game not be televised on Sky.
