Key questions as Scottish Premiership splits
Briefly

The Scottish Premiership has split into two halves, with crucial matches remaining that could affect the standings. Celtic leads the table by 15 points, and can clinch the title with a draw against Dundee United. European competition spots are still competitive, with four teams vying for three additional places, depending on outcomes like the Scottish Cup final. Meanwhile, St Johnstone, struggling at the bottom, has shown recent improvement but must finish strong to avoid relegation. The final five matches promise twists as they impact both title and relegation outcomes.
Celtic can confirm their fourth successive title with a draw against Dundee United. Rangers, currently trailing by 15 points, need a win coupled with a Celtic loss to delay the title.
Aberdeen is aiming for the Europa League play-off spot, relying on their performance in the Scottish Cup final against Celtic. Their loss would hand the spot to the third place in the Premiership.
St Johnstone, despite being last in the table, possess hope as they've performed well recently with two wins in their last six games and need to maintain that momentum.
With five fixtures remaining, the current standings in the Scottish Premiership leave room for unexpected results, especially regarding relegation battles and European qualification.
