St Johnstone handed teatime dates with the Old Firm
ByNews reporter
St Johnstone will face both sides of the Old Firm at teatime next month to accommodate the TV cameras.
Saints first welcome Rangers to McDiarmid Park on Tuesday, April 5, then are visited by Celtic a week later on the 12th.
Both matches will be televised live by ESPN and have been given an unusual 6pm kick-off time.
This is due to UEFA rules which prevent leagues from scheduling live games directly against their own European competitions, in this case the Champions League.
On the first Tuesday, Real Madrid host Tottenham and Inter Milan play Schalke in their quarter-finals, then seven days later Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford for their second leg, while Shakhtar Donetsk face Barcelona.
