RANGERS will look to clinch their Premiership return on May 31 after the SPFL confirmed the dates for the end-of-season play-offs.

If Kenny McDowall's side finish second in the Championship behind runaway leaders Hearts, they will await the winner of the two-legged tie between the teams that finish third and fourth in the standings.

The winner of that clash will then meet the 11th-placed outfit from the top tier, with the first leg on Thursday, May 28 and the second three days later.

The Championship finals will be staged on May 13 and 16, as will the League One final, while the pyramid ties are scheduled for May 9 and May 16.
