Why the delay on the split fixtures?

The SPFL have announced that they will not be releasing the details of the top six split fixtures until after the Rangers play their rearranged game with Dundee on Wednesday night.

That has led to many a person ask simply why? And with good reason as all top six sides are now confirmed after Saturdays results.

It could have easily been decided from Saturday evening onwards with plans put in place. Even for the incompetent SPFL it wouldn’t have been that difficult.

This has left the governing body open to all sorts of accusations that they could easily avoided. Or so they have something to hide?

Given how reluctant they are to play the Glasgow derby late in the split to avoid the controversy of a title decider, that fixture is always played in the first two rounds of fixtures, and with serval key Ibrox players a booking away from suspension it leaves them open to accusations of foul play, pardon the pun.

So why are they waiting until after a match that will have no baring on the outcome of the top six to announce the fixtures? Just like the split itself, it doesn’t add up.
