The SPFL have announced the split fixture dates in full and have set out a timeline for the final games to be confirmed.
Celtic and Rangers are edging towards the end of the season and will play against each other in the final five games as the Scottish Premiership splits in half. Ange Postecoglou and Michael Beale's sides will square off twice next month with a derby cracker up first at Celtic Park on April 8th before the two meet in the Scottish Cup semi-final at the end of April
Classically the Old Firm derby can be found in the second or third fixture of the split, meaning there may be one final head-to-head on the weekends of May 13/14 or May 20/21. This is yet to be confirmed as the SPFL announced a timeline for when fans can expect to know the full rundown.

A statement read: "The SPFL can now confirm that fixture round 38 will see the top six conclude on Saturday May 27, kick-off 12.30pm, with bottom-six matches being played on Sunday May 28, kick-off TBC.
"Post-split fixtures and TV selections are likely to be published in the week commencing Monday April 24. However, the SPFL will look to announce these earlier if the top six is confirmed prior to fixture round 33 on the weekend of April 22/23.
"The Scottish Cup semi-finals take place on April 29/30 before the cinch Premiership resumes with fixture round 34 on the first weekend in May."
SPFL Chief Operating Officer Calum Beattie said: “We are very much looking forward to an exciting conclusion to the season across all four divisions, with so much still to play for in the weeks ahead.
“The cinch Premiership split has been part of our game since 2000/01 and the race for the top six invariably creates plenty of drama and talking points. Last season was unprecedented, with an incredible seven clubs vying for three places on the final weekend of pre-split fixtures.
“With so few points between a number of teams, it will likely go down to the wire yet again this year. Scotland will once again have five clubs competing in UEFA competitions in 2023/24, which only adds to the interest as we approach the climax to the season.”
