The SPFL are facing post-split fixture chaos with Sevco likely to have played ALL of the top six clubs twice at Ibrox.

Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts look fairly certain of finishing in the top half of the table with Kilmarnock and Motherwell battling for the sixth place.

If Kilmarnock finish in sixth place it will complete a full house with TWO teams heading to Ibrox for a third time.

As a newly promoted club Hibs will certainly be one of those clubs and although they’ve won twice at Ibrox a third visit isn’t likely to please Neil Lennon.

The allocation of post split fixtures is a complex process with the priority being to give clubs an even split of 19 home and 19 away matches rather than balance up the head-to-head meetings.

Celtic are due to have three home matches after the split which will be Aberdeen, Sevco and Kilmarnock/Motherwell alongside two trips to Edinburgh.
