- SPFL split fixtures released for Rangers
- How have Rangers fared against the fellow top six teams?
- The Gers have some potential banana skins to look out for
Rangers know their path to destiny after the fixtures for the Premiership split have been released.
The Gers currently sit second in the league table, just one point behind Hearts, who are on 67 points.
Danny Rohl’s men finish off the season with a home game against Hibernian and a trip to Falkirk.
Here’s how the team has fared against the teams they face in the split.
Rangers’ tricky tests in the split
Hearts and Celtic are bound to give the Gers a tough test in the split, with both teams joining Rangers in the title hunt.
Rivals Celtic have beaten Rangers in both cup competitions, but Rangers have been the stronger team in the league.
The Gers beat Celtic 3-1 at Parkhead at the beginning of January, in between two draws in the league.
Hearts beat the Gers twice in the early part of the season, but last time out, a Youssef Chermiti hat-trick secured a 4-2 win.
There is no question that those two teams are going to be difficult to play against, but Motherwell is also a team that Rangers struggle against.
Rangers have drawn two of the three games against Motherwell this season.
Rohl’s men won the meeting at Ibrox, but it was a Jack Butland masterclass that allowed Rangers to hold on.
Elijah Just has been a menace all season in the SPFL and will likely cause many problems against Rangers.
Must pick up points
The club has beaten Hibs twice out of the three occasions they have faced them this season in the league.
The Gers face Falkirk this weekend to cap off the end of the regular season after two draws against them initially.
Hibs and Falkirk are at the bottom of the top end of the table and have to be must-win games if the Gers are to win the league.
Rohl’s side have really hit their stride following their cup exit against Celtic, scoring four against Aberdeen and Dundee United.
There are six cup finals remaining, with every game holding significant importance for the final title standings.
The Gers are at a disadvantage against Celtic and Hearts.
Celtic face Rangers and Hearts at home, while Hearts face Rangers at home.
The Gers are the only team in the title race that doesn’t get to play their rivals at Ibrox.
Read Rangers analysis
Despite Rangers hitting an incredible streak of form, past results have shown that Rangers will struggle to win every game of the split.
The Gers haven’t wiped the floor with any of the top six, so can they hold their nerve and bring back title number 56?
