With only one point separating the trio, every goal could decide whether they stay in the second tier or tumble into League 1. The pressure mounts as clubs push for a win.

Dunfermline and Arbroath head into a triple‑header that will decide third place and home advantage in the Premiership play‑off. A victory for Arbroath would secure their spot, while a loss could see them miss out. Partick Thistle clinched second place and await match against Queen’s Park, who could finish fifth if Raith fall to County.

St Johnstone wrap up a record‑tying season with a home win over Ayr United, securing their champions status before the curtain falls.
