Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic will head to Dundee while title rivals Rangers visit St Mirren on the first weekend of post-split fixtures – both live on Sky Sports.
The action will kick off on Saturday April 27 as Kilmarnock face Hearts, Aberdeen take on Motherwell, Livingston host Ross County and St Johnstone play Hibernian, before the games at the SMiSA Stadium and Dens Park on Sunday.
The final Old Firm clash of the season at Celtic Park takes place on May 11 on Sky Sports – with Celtic currently four points clear of Rangers who have a game in hand at Dundee on Wednesday.
Livingston – who are 12 points from safety at the foot of the table – look set for relegation to the Championship.
Ross County are currently in the relegation play-off spot, a point behind St Johnstone in 10th while Aberdeen are only five clear of the Dingwall club ahead of the final five matches this season.

Leaders Celtic will host Rangers in the final Old Firm clash of the season on May 11 – live on Sky Sports – in a fixture that will go a large way in deciding who wins the league title.
As well facing Dundee and Rangers, Celtic will host Hearts on May 4 and visit Kilmarnock on May 15 – live on Sky Sports – before ending the season at home to St Mirren on May 18.
Title-rivals Rangers, meanwhile, return to Ibrox after their game at St Mirren. Kilmarnock are the visitors on May 5 and Dundee on May 14 live on Sky Sports – either side of the Old Firm – before Philippe Clement’s side end their season at Hearts on May 18.
Hearts could seal third spot on April 27 with a win at closest challengers Kilmarnock which could lead to a Europa League place.
Meanwhile, Kilmarnock could also secure European football on May 11 should they win at St Mirren who are also pushing for fourth spot and end their season at Dundee on May 18.
St Mirren and Dundee could yet secure a Europa Conference qualifying spot if they were to finish fifth and the Scottish Cup winners go on to win the league title.
Livingston’s relegation could be confirmed on April 28 at home to Ross County, with the club currently 12 points adrift of safety with 15 to play for.
Following their historic win over Rangers, Ross County meanwhile could move out of the relegation play-off spot with a win in that match – with a key game at St Johnstone on May 15 to come before ending the season at home to Aberdeen on May 19.
St Johnstone – who are just a point ahead of Ross County – also face huge trips to Aberdeen on May 4 and Livingston a week later before ending at Motherwell.
Elsewhere, Aberdeen – who have named Elfsborg’s Jimmy Thelin as their new manager for next season – will hope to avoid being dragged into that relegation battle.
The Dons start with home games against Motherwell (April 27) and St Johnstone (May 4) before visiting Hibernian the week after and ending their season against the bottom two, with Livingston at Pittodrie on May 15 and a trip to Ross County on May 19.
