The SPFL have released the post-split fixtures — and Celtic fans now know exactly when and where their club can clinch the Premiership title.
The Hoops will travel to Tannadice on Saturday, April 26 to face Dundee United in the first of their final five league matches. Kick-off is set for 12:30pm, and it could be a historic afternoon for Brendan Rodgers’ side. With a 15-point lead and a vastly superior goal difference, Celtic need just a single point to be officially crowned champions.
Should they get the job done on Tayside, it will cap off a dominant league campaign with four matches still to play.
Next up is the final Glasgow Derby of the season, scheduled for Sunday, May 4 at Ibrox, with a midday kick-off. The fixture was a key consideration in discussions with Police Scotland and broadcasters, and its timing confirms the authorities have settled on a plan to manage the high-profile clash.
Celtic will then return to Parkhead on Saturday, May 10 to take on Hibernian in a 3pm kick-off, followed by a midweek trip to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen on Wednesday, May 14 (7:45pm). The final league match will see the champions return home to play St Mirren on Saturday, May 17, again at 12:30pm which will be trophy day.
With the title within reach, attention also turns to this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final against St Johnstone. A win at Hampden would book Celtic’s place in the final and keep their treble hopes alive.
After that the focus will move to Tannadice, where one more result will confirm what has long felt inevitable — Celtic, once again, champions of Scotland.
