Title on the Line and Play-Off Drama Everywhere
As we head into the final stages of the SPFL season, the storylines are stacking up—from crowning a champion at Tannadice to fierce promotion battles across the lower leagues. Here’s your essential guide to what’s at stake this weekend.
🍀 All Eyes on Tannadice
In the Premiership, the spotlight falls on Tannadice, where Celtic need just a point against Dundee United to seal a fourth consecutive league title. Brendan Rodgers’ side come into this one riding high after a 5-0 thrashing of St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup semi-final and will be confident of getting the job done.
But United have had time to rest and regroup following their own win over the Perth Saints, and with European football still within reach, they’ll be in no mood to roll out the green carpet.
📈 Promotion Race Heating Up in the Championship
With Falkirk already champions and Airdrieonians all but confirmed for the relegation play-off, the final drama in the Championship is at the other end of the table—where the play-off chase is wide open.
Partick Thistle, currently in fourth, host the champions on Friday night. Level on points with the Jags are Raith Rovers, who face a crucial home clash with Greenock Morton—still in with a shout themselves. Every goal, every result, matters now.
⚖️ Tight at Both Ends in League One
In League One, it’s not about titles anymore—it’s about play-off survival and last-gasp pushes for promotion.
Alloa Athletic welcome Montrose in a match that could impact both ends of the table. The Wasps are pushing to leapfrog Stenhousemuir—in freefall—in the race for the top four. Meanwhile, Montrose are nervously glancing over their shoulder with a tough final fixture against Caley Thistle looming and a goal difference working against them.
⚔️ Title Decider in League Two
If there's one match with everything on the line, it’s at Balmoor. Peterhead host East Fife in a potential League Two title decider.
Victory for Peterhead would see them crowned champions and return to League One. But if East Fife win, they’ll leapfrog the Blue Toon and—with a superior goal difference—would need just a point next weekend to clinch top spot. One match. One title. Everything to play for.
