Scottish Premiership playoff dates revealed as crunch promotion and relegation battles rage on

The dates for the perilous Premiership play-offs have been revealed as the race for survival heads for a nail-biting conclusion.

The quarter-finals, and semi-finals will be shown live on BBC Scotland in May with the final to be broadcast on Sky Sports.

Second bottom St Johnstone currently occupy the play-off spot, six points clear of Dundee and six behind St Mirren and Aberdeen above them.

And whoever ends the season in that place will take on whichever Championship side navigates their two-legged quarter-final and semi-final ties.

Arbroath, Inverness Caley Thistle and Partick Thistle are currently in the mix but don't rule out Raith Rovers in fifth or even the Red Lichties chasing down Kilmarnock at the top of the table.
