Celtic will win the Premiership title unless they lose their last five games and Rangers win all of theirs while making up a 42-goal swing in goal difference.

The champions will enter the Champions League play-off round, with the runners-up entering in the second qualifying round.

The Premiership now splits in half after 33 games – with each club playing the others in their ‘half’ for a fourth and final time.

Celtic, Rangers, Hibernian, Dundee United, Aberdeen and St Mirren will all be in the top half, with St Johnstone, Dundee, Ross County, Kilmarnock, Motherwell and Hearts in the bottom half.

The third-placed Premiership team will enter the Europa League at the second qualifying round, with the fourth-placed team entering the Conference League at the second qualifying round.

If Aberdeen win the Scottish Cup, regardless of their league position, they will enter the Europa League at the play-off round. If Celtic win the Cup, “their” Europa place reverts to the league and will go to the third-placed Premiership team, with the fourth-placed team entering at the second qualifying round and the fifth-placed team entering the Conference League at the second qualifying round.

The Premiership’s bottom club will be relegated to the Scottish Championship, while the 11th-placed team will enter a play-off with three Championship sides.
