The SPFL have confirmed the end of season play-off dates.

St Johnstone will hope they turn out to be of no concern to them, of course.

But if Craig Levein’s side finish their Premiership campaign behind Ross County and drop to 11th, they will face either Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle or Airdrie on Thursday, May 23 (away) and then Sunday, May 26 (home).

Raith and Airdrie are possible opponents for the second bottom Premiership side.
