Rangers now know the road that will define their season.
Danny Röhl’s side will launch their post-split campaign at Ibrox, with Motherwell the first visitors on Sunday, April 26, a 3pm kick-off that should set the tone for what follows. A home start, a demanding crowd, and no room for early stumbles.
Then comes Tynecastle. Hearts await on Monday, May 4, in a 5:30pm clash live on Sky Sports. It is one of the most unforgiving arenas in the country, and under the lights, with the cameras rolling, it rarely does quiet or calm. If Rangers want to show their steel, this is where it starts to show.
And then, the one that always looms largest.
The final Old Firm of the campaign lands at Parkhead on Sunday, May 10, a high-noon showdown, again live on Sky Sports. Form, fatigue, league tables – all of it usually bends to the sheer force of that fixture. For Röhl and his players, it will be more than just another date in the diary. It is the kind of afternoon that can swing a season, define reputations, and linger long into the summer.
Just as the dust will barely have settled, Ibrox gets one last big night.
Hibernian come to Govan on Wednesday, May 13, for an 8pm kick-off in what shapes up as the penultimate outing of the season. Under the floodlights, with the stakes likely sharpened by what happens at Parkhead, it has the feel of a potentially decisive home fixture – the type where tension and expectation share every seat.
The curtain then comes down away from home.
Rangers finish their post-split schedule with a trip to Falkirk on Saturday, May 16, a 12:30pm start that could carry everything from pride to silverware on its shoulders. Final days have a habit of writing their own scripts. Falkirk will not roll out a red carpet for anyone.
Confirmed post-split fixtures
- Sunday, April 26 – Motherwell (H) – 3pm
- Monday, May 4 – Hearts (A) – 5:30pm, live on Sky Sports
- Sunday, May 10 – Celtic (A) – 12 noon, live on Sky Sports
- Wednesday, May 13 – Hibernian (H) – 8pm
- Saturday, May 16 – Falkirk (A) – 12:30pm
Ticket details will be announced in due course, but the shape of Rangers’ run-in is already clear enough. Five games, three away grounds, one Old Firm cauldron and a pair of Ibrox occasions that will demand full voice.
The margins at this stage of a campaign are always thin. The question now is simple: can Röhl’s Rangers turn this demanding post-split path into a launchpad rather than a stumbling block?
