Celtic and Rangers live on Sky Sports THREE times as split schedule for TV announced

Celtic and Rangers will play in front of the TV cameras THREE times each during the league split.

The SPFL confirmed the fixture schedule for the final five games of the season with the Hoops' potential title clinching game against Hearts at Tynecastle landing a TV slot at an unusual kick-off time. The game will begin at 2.15pm on Sunday May 7 as Ange Postecoglou and his troops bid to wrap up back to back league titles.

Steven Naismith and Hearts will be out to spoil the party with a big three points of their own required as they chase down Aberdeen for third spot. They trail the Dons by five points going into the final run-in with the best of the rest spot all but guaranteeing European group stage football next season - unless neither Old Firm club lift the Scottish Cup. The winner of Sunday's semi-final tie will be the overwhelming favourite against one of Falkirk or Inverness.

The final Old Firm derby is on Saturday May 13 and Sky Sports have selected this one as per normal. The game begins at 12.30pm.

Rangers are then live on the box in back to back games with Edinburgh's big two. First it is the trip to Easter Road to face Hibs on Sunday May 21 before they host the Jambos under the lights at Ibrox midweek in their final home game of the season.

The final day of the season will come live from Glasgow's east end as Celtic play host to Aberdeen. Michael Beale and Rangers are away to St Mirren that day but not on the big screen. Both games start at 12.30pm.
