NEIL Lennon could win the league title with Celtic at Easter Road just two months after leaving Hibernian.
If the champions-elect beat Livingston on Saturday and Rangers win at Fir Park 24 hours later, eight-in-a-row wculd be clinched on the first round of fixtures after the split when the Parkhead men travel to Leith.
The final Old Firm match will take place at Ibrox on the penultimate weekend of the Premiership season after the SPFL announced their post-split fixtures.
The league will be sure they have avoided the possibility of Celtic being able to clinch their 50th championship at the home of their old rivals. The two will meet on Sunday, May 12.
Dundee and St Mirren will play on the final Saturday of the season which could turn out to be a relegation decider.
Should Celtic beat Livingston and Rangers slip-up against Motherwell, then Lennon's side will be crowned champions on Sunday.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
