Celtic are on the verge of winning their fourth consecutive league title. The Rangers' recent draw against Aberdeen meant that the gap now stands at 15 points. So, just another point will be enough for the Hoops to get the job done. And now, we now when they will get the chance to get this race over the finish line.
It has not been much of a title race, to be honest. Since the start of the season, the Rangers have struggled for any kind of form. And it is one of the major reasons why Celtic have been shaky in the second half of the campaign as well, as they have never really had a challenge over the course of the entire run.
It is important to get this title race over the line as soon as possible though. Now, there is clarification when Celtic will get the chance to do that as the post-split fixtures have been announced.
The SPFL have made the announcement on their official website. Celtic will take on Dundee United on April 26. On the other hand, the Glasgow Derby will be played on May 4. Both games are away though. The Hoops' next home fixture is against Hibernian on May 10 followed by a trip to Aberdeen on May 14. the season ends on May 17, against St Mirren at Parkhead.
SPFL make announcement Celtic fans have been waiting for
Of course, before that, Celtic have other things to worry about. This league title race has been over for a good while, to be very honest about it.
The same cannot be said about the Scottish Cup though. If Celtic want to win another treble, they will have to win the competition and they cannot afford to have a bad day at the office, because of its format.
Celtic's next game in the Scottish Cup is a semi-final tie against St Johnstone at Hampden Park. The Hoops recently lost to them in Perth. So, they cannot make the mistake of taking them lightly.
