EXCLUSIVE:Rangers to land Ibrox bonus amid Celtic title fight

Premiership top six fixtures are expected, Rangers to receive an Ibrox bonus in the midst of a Celtic title race.

The post-split matches for the Scottish Premiership are being eagerly anticipated by bettors. However, what could the title match look like at this point, with complete parity practically unattainable?

Celtic still have a home game against Rangers and Hearts scheduled, which means they will have to make difficult travels to Kilmarnock, where they faltered in December, St. Mirren, and Dundee. However, with just 16 of their 38 league games played at home thus far this season, that would leave Celtic with just 18 games overall.

Despite having played 17 home games already, Rangers still have a second game scheduled at Ibrox against St. Mirren, Dundee, and Kilmarnock. That would have meant that they would have had more games on their home field, which would have infuriated the Celtic supporters.

There will be more oddities, such if the league decides to send Philippe Clement’s team to Dens, Paisley, or Rugby Park a third time in an attempt to level the playing field. Here are some hypothetical final fixtures that could appear before the supercomputer at Hampden kicks in, presented in no particular chronological order:
