With only five weeks left in 2024, Celtic, Rangers, and Hearts each have 10 matches to navigate, while other teams will play between seven and eight fixtures.

Meanwhile, Celtic, equipped with a deep squad, will aim to maintain their lead in the league while pursuing European glory. Rangers are facing a critical stretch, including a high-stakes Premier Sports Cup final against Celtic. For clubs like Hibernian, under pressure near the bottom of the table, every match is vital in their fight for survival. With so much at stake, the end-of-year run-in promises to be a thrilling climax to the season.
