Rangers' High-Stakes Run-In as Post-Split Fixtures Confirmed
Rangers now know the road that will define their season. The post-split schedule has landed, and it offers no hiding place.
Danny Röhl’s side begin the final phase with a home assignment that carries its own pressure. Motherwell visit Ibrox on Sunday, April 26, a 3pm kick-off that should crackle with the tension of a support desperate to see their team set the tone for the run-in. Drop points there, and the rest of the split suddenly looks a lot more daunting.
From there, the stakes rise and the spotlight sharpens. Rangers head to Tynecastle on Monday, May 4, to face Hearts in a 5:30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports. Tynecastle rarely offers comfort to visiting sides; it offers noise, hostility and a test of nerve. For Röhl and his players, it is exactly the kind of night that reveals whether a team is truly built for the pressure of the season’s sharp end.
Then comes the fixture that always shapes the mood of a campaign.
The final Old Firm of the season arrives at Parkhead on Sunday, May 10, with a 12 noon start and the cameras of Sky Sports trained on every tackle and every touch. By then, the margins could be razor thin. An Old Firm clash at that stage of the season is never just another game; it can swing momentum, define narratives and leave scars that last into the summer.
Just as the dust begins to settle on that derby, Ibrox prepares for one last night under the lights. Hibernian come to Govan on Wednesday, May 13, for an 8pm kick-off that serves as Rangers’ penultimate outing of the campaign. If there is anything still to be decided – positions, pride, or European places – this is the kind of fixture where the home crowd expects their team to seize control and finish the job.
The season then closes on the road. Falkirk await on Saturday, May 16, with a 12:30pm kick-off that could carry huge significance. Final days can be cruel or glorious; they rarely sit in between. Whatever is at stake, Rangers will have to deliver away from home, in a game that might demand calm heads and ruthless finishing.
Confirmed post-split fixtures:
- Sunday, April 26 – Motherwell (H) – 3pm
- Monday, May 4 – Hearts (A) – 5:30pm, live on Sky Sports

- Wednesday, May 13 – Hibernian (H) – 8pm
- Saturday, May 16 – Falkirk (A) – 12:30pm
Ticket information for these matches will be announced in due course, but the path is already clear. Five games, three away days, two huge nights at Ibrox and one Old Firm that could define how this season is remembered.
