Motherwell’s defeat to Aberdeen on Tuesday evening means the two halves of the top flight table have already been decided with a round of games to spare.

While supporters would like the fixtures to be announced as quickly as possible, the league’s governing body insist they would not be able to organise everything before this weekend as discussions need to take place with police and TV broadcasters.
