SPFL play-off dates confirmed with finals to be shown on live TV

The SPFL have confirmed the play-off dates across their divisions with finals to broadcast live on TV.

Hamilton Accies could yet be involved in the Premiership play-offs, which started on Tuesday with Dunfermline and Raith Rovers drawing their quarter-final first leg 0-0 at East End Park.

The final, which will see the club finishing 11th in the top flight facing the winning semi-finalist, will be held on Thursday, May 20 and the second leg on Monday, May 24.

In the bid to reach the Championship, Airdrie face Cove Rangers in the semi-final, with the first leg at Balmoral Stadium on Saturday and the return tie at New Broomfield on Tuesday night.

Clyde could yet find themselves in the play-offs to stay in League One, as they must beat East Fife tonight in order to avoid a semi-final with Stranraer.

Only the pyramid play-off - which will decide if a side will be promoted to the SPFL - is not being televised.

The full list of play-off dates and TV coverage are as follows:
