The SPFL confirmed the post-split fixture list last week, with the Gers facing an interesting run in.
Silverware may not be at stake, but pride certainly is and the scheduling may have thrown up a dream scenario for one injury-plagued star.
Steven Gerrard recently stated that Jamie Murphy is on the verge of full fitness after a serious knee injury.
He suggested that it was possible that the winger could return for the last couple of league matches.
As it turns out, the penultimate SPL fixture is an Old Firm, at Ibrox.
What a motivation that could serve as for Murphy, over the next few weeks.
The winger was an important part of the team last season. Therefore, even though the likes of Eros Grezda came in over the summer, you’ve got to think he would have contributed regularly under Gerrard, had disaster not struck in August.
Murphy sustained his injury on the artificial pitch at Rugby Park. With that in mind, it seems unlikely he would be risked on that surface again, for the final league fixture.

Therefore, the Old Firm on 12 May or perhaps even the home game against Hibs the previous weekend, could be his only chances to add to a measly eight appearances this season.
After eight months on the sidelines, you would imagine a return and a triumph against Celtic would be the stuff of dreams.
