14 April 2011 15:29

Celtic will meet Motherwell and title rivals Rangers will play at Kilmarnock on the final day of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League season, the Scottish Premier League announced on Thursday.

Neil Lennon's Celtic hold a two-point lead over Walter Smith's Rangers with seven games remaining this season.

Five will come after the SPL split, with the SPL already announcing Rangers will host Celtic at Ibrox on Easter Sunday.

The final Old Firm derby of the season is part of the first round of post-split fixtures, to ensure the match is not a title decider.

Celtic, who are still to discover a date for their postponed match at Inverness, play home fixtures with Dundee United (May 1) and Motherwell (May 15) and games at Rangers (April 24), Kilmarnock (May 8) and Hearts (May 11).

Rangers play Celtic (April 24), Hearts (May 7) and Dundee United (May 10) at Ibrox and away fixtures at Motherwell (April 30) and Kilmarnock (May 15).

All 12 teams in the top flight will complete the season having played 19 games at home and 19 away.

However, Rangers will host Dundee United for a third time and Celtic will visit Kilmarnock for a third time, while Hearts will play Motherwell at Tynecastle for a third time this season.
