Play-off dates revealed

The SPFL have confirmed the dates, kick-off times and live broadcast information for the upcoming Ladbrokes Premiership play-offs.

Dundee United are definitely in the quarter-finals and could be joined by Dunfermline.

It will be a big ask for either, though, with the road to the top flight taking in six games in 20 days.

The quarter-final ties will be played as follows: Leg 1: fourth v third – Tuesday May 1, 7.45pm, Leg 2: third v fourth – Friday May 4, 7.45pm.

Semi-final ties: Leg 1: QF winner v Livingston – Monday May 7, 7.45pm – BT Sport; Leg 2: Livingston v QF winner – Friday May 11, 7.45pm – BT Sport.

Final: Leg 1: SF winner v Premiership 11th-placed side – Thursday May 17, 7.45pm – BT Sport; Leg 2: Premiership 11th-placed side v SF winner – Sunday May 20, 3.30pm – BT Sport.

United are in discussions with Dunfermline and their other possible quarter-final opponents, Inverness Caley Thistle, regarding admission prices and dates for ticket sales.

The club said: “The likelihood is that tickets for both legs of the quarter-final will go on sale to season ticket holders (17-18 and 18-19 seasons) directly after Saturday’s home match v Livingston and remain exclusively on sale to season ticket holders during Sunday. Monday April 30 will then see tickets for both legs be made available to the general public.

“As soon as we have more on ticket prices, we will update this information.”
