Hearts v Ross County on Saturday, April 22 and Aberdeen v Rangers on Sunday, April 23 have both been chosen by the broadcaster for live coverage. They are the final fixtures before the league splits into a top and bottom six.

The kick-off time for Hearts v Ross County at Tynecastle Park has been brought forward to 12.30pm. It means there will be two lunchtime kick-offs for hearts fans in successive weeks. Hibs v Hearts begins at 12.30pm the previous Saturday, April 15, so that the clubs can sell their own PPV packages after the derby was not chosen for by Sky Sports.
