However, all the attention will be on the top two and title fight with Celtic currently six points above Rangers.

Aberdeen and Hibs to meet in bottom six clash
It took until the last gameweek of the regular season to finalise the teams who would finish in the top and bottom halves and Aberdeen, Hibs and Livingston all missed out.
They join second bottom St Johnstone and bottom side Dundee in spending the next five fixtures battling against the drop.
The team who finishes bottom of the league is automatically relegated to the Scottish Championship while the team who finishes 11th must play-off with a club from that division over two legs for their spot in the top flight.
