Celtic and Rangers are set for an interesting run-in to their seasons as they face each other twice in a week at the end of April.

Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers will meet twice in a week after their post-split Scottish Premiership fixture was scheduled for just six days after the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Celtic are 25 points clear at the summit as they close in on a sixth successive title, but Rangers stand between them and a first Scottish Cup final since 2012-13.

With Brendan Rodgers' side also looking to end the league season undefeated, a double-header against their arch-rivals could prove crucial.

The semi-final will take place at Hampden Park on April 23, with a league meeting at Ibrox following six days later.
