Current play-off schedule and broadcast

The first leg of the William Hill Premiership play-off final is currently scheduled for Thursday, May 21. Sky Sports will broadcast that game, with the second leg due on Monday, May 25.

Both legs are set for 8.00pm kick-offs under the current timetable. That timing creates a potential clash with the cup final on May 23.

Dunfermline’s promotion bid

Dunfermline sit fourth in the Championship. They hold a five-point advantage and have a game in hand over Raith Rovers.

The club aim to reach the play-off final and return to the top flight. Their cup run adds momentum to that push.

SPFL contingency plan

The SPFL has a contingency for clubs involved in both competitions. If a club appears in the Scottish Cup final and the play-off final, the play-offs will be moved.

Under that plan, the play-off ties would be rescheduled for Tuesday, May 26 and Friday, May 29. The change would avoid direct conflict with the cup final.

Possible outcomes and stakes

There is a scenario where both cup finalists feature in the play-off final. That would occur if St Mirren beat Celtic and finish in a relegation play-off spot.

St Mirren are currently two points clear of 11th-placed Kilmarnock. Their league position means the Buddies could yet become involved in the play-offs.
