SPFL playoff kick off times confirmed as nerve shredders to be screened live

The BBC will screen the SPFL play-offs live as the race for promotion and battle to beat the drop hots up.

Kilmarnock clinched the Championship in dramatic fashion with a win over nearest challengers Arbroath at Rugby Park on Friday night.

Dick Campbell’s part-timers are still in the hunt for a place in the top flight but will have to come through the play-offs.

Partick Thistle, Raith Rovers and Inverness Caley Thistle all have hopes of joining Killie in the Scottish Premiership next season.

And at the bottom of the top flight Dundee, St Johnstone, Aberdeen and St Mirren are all looking to avoid a nerve-shredding play off.

The action will be screened live on the BBC with the SPFL confirming kick off times for the run of games.
