OH MY, i wonder if anyone with half a brain may have anticipated this when they released the fixtures for us to have home games against the sheep, Hearts, Hibs and the tims all at home first.
SPFL face post-split fixture chaos as Rangers have already played rest of top six at home twice
If the top six stays as it is then two clubs will have to travel to Ibrox three times this season.

- Rangers will have played all five of their rivals in the top half of the Premiership twice at Ibrox this season.
But Graeme Murty’s side will be due two home games after the split, which could force two teams to make a third trip to Govan.
The SPFL almost certainly won’t have an imbalance in the Old Firm derby meetings while Aberdeen would be outraged at the prospect of another Gers away game as they battle for second place.
Former Rangers boss Walter Smith hit out at the SPL in 2010, claiming the club had suffered a decade of unfair treatment when it came to post-split fixtures.
On seven occasions in the first 10 years of the format Gers played a top-six club away from home three times and only once at home, although in two of those seasons it was balanced out with three home games against another side.
In a Q&A at the start of this season SPFL secretary Iain Blair said: “I have been doing this job for almost 19 years and unfortunately there is no such thing as a perfect fixture list.
“Our aim is to produce the best and most balanced set of fixtures.
