"The split takes place after 33 rounds of fixtures, with the final round of first-phase games on the weekend of 11 and 12 April, by which time all 12 teams will have played each other three times."
"For rounds 34 to 38, the top-six sides play each other once more and the bottom six teams do likewise, meaning five games per team against those closest to them in the table."
"Given the need to even out home and away derbies and the stakes in the title race, it's likely two of Hearts' away games will be at Easter Road and Celtic Park."
"Celtic and Hibs will have played 16 at home, but it's not quite as straightforward as that, leading to potential adjustments in post-split matchups."
The Scottish Premiership is set to split into two after 33 rounds of fixtures, with the top six teams competing for titles and European places. The split, first implemented in the 2000-01 season, will see teams play each other once more in their respective halves. Home and away game distributions are complicated by the need to balance derbies and the stakes involved. Teams like Hearts, Rangers, and Motherwell will have played 17 home games, while Celtic and Hibs will have played 16, leading to potential adjustments in post-split matchups.
