I think if Motherwell or Hibs make it, there'll be 4 teams in the top 6 who've had 17 home games, meaning someone will get an extra one. If it's Dundee, everyone will get 19 home and away.

After next week's away game against the green bigots, we'll have played 16 home games and 17 away games.

We should definitely have the green bigots and Killie at home, with the Blue bigots and Hearts away.

If Hibs or Motherwell make it, then we should have them at home.

If Dundee make it, then we're due to play them away, but we're due three home games. So one of us will lose out.

I think...........

Home fixtures by split.

Aberdeen - 16 (bottom half)

Celtic - 16 (top half)

Dundee - 16 

Hearts - 17 (top half)

Hibernian - 17

Kilmarnock - 17 (top half)

Livingston - 16 (bottom half)

Motherwell - 17 

Rangers - 17 (top half)

Ross County - 16 (bottom half)

St Johnstone - 17 (bottom half)

St Mirren - 16 half (top half)

So...

Top half

- Celtic and St Mirren due 3 home games, Hearts and Rangers due 2

Bottom half

- Aberdeen, Livingston, and Ross County, due 3 home games, St Johnstone due 2.

Then...

- Dundee due 3 home games, Hibernian and Motherwell due 2.

So as it stands I think it would be..

3 home games top half - Celtic, Dundee, St Mirren

2 home games top half - Hearts, Kilmarnock, Rangers

3 home games bottom half - Aberdeen, Livingston, Ross County

2 home games bottom half - Hibernian, Motherwell, St Johnstone 

So I think it would be...

Top half

For Celtic:

Home: Dundee, Hearts, Kilmarnock
Away: Rangers, St Mirren

For Dundee:
Home:
Hearts, Kilmarnock, Rangers
Away: Celtic, St Mirren

For St Mirren:
Home:
Hearts, Rangers, Kilmarnock
Away: Celtic, Dundee

For Hearts:
Home:
Rangers, Kilmarnock
Away: Celtic, Dundee, St Mirren

For Kilmarnock:
Home:
Rangers, St Mirren
Away: Dundee, Hearts, Celtic

For Rangers:
Home:
Celtic, Dundee
Away: Hearts, Rangers, St Mirren

Bottom half

For Aberdeen:

Home: Hibernian, Livingston, Ross County
Away: Motherwell, St Johnstone

For Hibernian:
Home:
Aberdeen, St Johnstone
Away: Livingston, Motherwell, Ross County 

For Livingston:
Home:
 Motherwell, Ross County, St Johnstone
Away: Aberdeen, Hibernian

For Motherwell:
Home:
Aberdeen, Hibernian
Away: Livingston, Ross County, St Johnstone

For Ross County:
Home:
 Hibernian, Livingston, Motherwell
Away: Aberdeen, St Johnstone

For St Johnstone:
Home:
 Hibernian, Motherwell
Away: Aberdeen, Livingston, Ross County

 

But that doesn't feel right really? Can't remember fixtures off hand but feel like that makes a lot of people visit the same place too much.

Those fixtures for us don’t look right. I’m pretty confident they’ll make sure Celtic and Rangers have a perfect balance, which means Celtic would come to us and we go to Ibrox. 

No idea what such a constraint would mean for the rest of the fixtures, mind you (not that the SPFL would care).

This will probably be moot, though, as we go on to lose our next two games.

Looks like the following will happen in the top half

If Dundee make top 6 

Dundee will host Killie for a third time and St Mirren will host Hearts for a third time.

One team will also need to flip their OF fixtures so that Celtic and Rangers keep a 19/19 split - for purposes of this post I’ll make it Dundee.

 

Celtic (19/19)

Home: Rangers, Hearts, Dundee

Away: Kilmarnock, St Mirren

Rangers (19/19)

Kilmarnock (19/19)

Motherwell have already played Aberdeen twice at Fir Park

Motherwell "should" have Livi and St Johnstone at Fir Park - Away to Aberdeen and County - Hibs we would be due to be at Easter Rd, Dundee we would be due at Fir Park (which would be too many homes).

Could the extra home game not just as easily be given to Motherwell or Hearts in this scenario?

We will likely have the least to play for and had a deficit of home games a few years ago so I'd have thought we'd be the logical choice.

The priority for the post split games is always to have everyone playing 19 home and 19 away, that takes precedence over having to play away against one side three times for instance. I cant recall any time when a t*eam had a 20/18 or 18/20 split, certainly not when it mattered.

The issue this season would be if Hibs or Motherwell finish top 6, meaning 4 sides would be only entitled to 2 home games but one of them would need to get 3. 

If the SPFL had any sense, they'd give that extra home game to Hearts, as they are secure in third so the advantage for them wouldnt be as critical, but its the SPFL so who knows.

*which is kind of what DC92 said but i hadnt read the post properly.
