Scottish premiership

As this weekend marks the beginning of the post-split fixtures for the Scottish Premiership, there are numerous decisions to be made regarding the standings of teams at both the top and bottom of the league.

On Sunday, the SMiSA Stadium will have its fair share of attention from the Sky Sports cameras as they record St Mirren's match against Rangers. However, shortly after, all attention will be redirected towards Dens Park for the game between Dundee and Celtic.

Sky Sports News and our live blog on the Sky Sports App and website will provide coverage for alternate matches.

Check out what we have on the line this weekend...

What's On Sky Live?

The football game will start on Sunday, April 28th at 11:30 in the morning. The first kick will happen at around 12:30 in the afternoon.

Following their successful performances in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, the Old Firm focus on the championship race as they prepare for an exhilarating double-header on Sunday.

The Rangers are headed to St Mirren, aiming for their initial triumph in the league after four matches. Their target is to equalize points with Celtic before the Hoops confront Dundee.

The football game will begin at 2:45pm on Sunday 28th April. The players will start playing at 3:00pm.

St Mirren has a shot at getting into European football, but they haven't managed to defeat Rangers in the league since 2011.

Celtic have emerged victorious in their previous nine league clashes against Dundee. Should Rangers triumph in an earlier game, securing another win for Celtic would grant them a three-point lead to the last four matches of an exhilarating championship race.

Is Livingston's Relegation Confirmed?

Livingston has had a prolonged and disappointing campaign, managing only three victories in the league. Their stint in the top tier is swiftly drawing to a close after a successful six seasons.

If they are defeated by Ross County this coming weekend, their destiny would be sealed and the Staggies would have a chance to stay clear of another relegation play-off.

The County team is ahead of Livi by 12 points in the 11th position, but they have suffered defeats in their last six league games played away from their home. If they lose one more game, it will be the first time they have lost seven away games in a row in the top-flight.

Will Hearts Clinch Third Place?

Following their disappointment at Hampden during the Scottish Cup semi-final, Hearts have the opportunity to secure their position as the top team in the Premiership, aside from Celtic and Rangers, if they are victorious against Kilmarnock this weekend.

The team led by Steven Naismith has a significant lead of 11 points over Killie and will secure the third position in the upcoming game. This would also ensure their participation in the group stage of European football for the first time since the split.

Facing Derek McInnes' team will not be an easy challenge as they have only been defeated twice at their home stadium in the league this season. Additionally, they are working hard to secure a spot in a European competition.

Can Motherwell Beat The Dons And Break Their Losing Streak?

The Motherwell team is going to Aberdeen this upcoming weekend hoping to finally break their bad streak against the Dons. In their last five matches, they have been unable to beat them.

Last time Fir Park visited Pittodrie, Aberdeen managed to get a 3-3 draw after they were able to overcome a three-goal disadvantage.

Although Motherwell seems to be guaranteed their top-flight status, Aberdeen is still in danger of being pulled down to the spot for the relegation play-off.

Both teams haven't secured their place in the highest division for the following season. The Dons are presently leading with five points over the relegation play-off, while Motherwell is two points ahead of them.

Will Hibs Win Or Lose In Perth?

St Johnstone haven't had a victory in their past seven home league matches. Similarly, this weekend's rivals Hibs haven't won any of their previous seven away games.

Craig Levein's team is aware that anything other than a win could result in them being drawn back into the relegation playoff position with only four games remaining.

Hibs narrowly didn't make it into the top-six. Now, their aim is to make sure they don't suffer consecutive losses at McDiarmid Park this season. Despite their close call, they currently have a comfortable nine-point lead over the teams in the relegation zone.
