There’s been speculation on various threads who we might draw in our first Europa League tie on Tues 19th June. Before that though, and equally as intriguing, we’ll find out on 15th June how our league season maps out.
Official announcement here - https://spfl.co.uk/news/article/fixt...n-a-fortnight/
Anyone care to speculate who our first game will be against?
Will it be Home or Away?
Away to Livingston
Unfair surely for the two best teams in the lothians to play each other on the opening day.Quote:

It's never too early for the pro-rangers conspiracies to start. :agree:Quote:

Rangers to get two home ties to Celtic, Aberdeen, Hibs, Kilmarnock and Hearts.
In all seriousness though, the only thing for certain is that the first derby will be at Tynecastle (given the first one last season was at ER). We'll more than likely be away to Celtic and home to Rangers the first time we play them too.
Motherwell at Easter Rd.
Away to St Johnstone me thinks.

The media will be demanding it !
Which is exactly why I think we will get it this year, with Aberdeen Vs rangers on the Sat... Hearts will get Livi as the early KO on opening day.Quote:

You heard it here first
Hibs, Aberdeen and Rangers should all be handed Sunday matches. Last season the live games were published on 7th July. We won’t have played a European game by that date this year
Lol, I take it you work sundays then?Quote:

If the fixtures are meant to be evened out over two seasons then Sevco should have to go to ER, Celtic, Aberdeen, Killie and the PBS twice before the split. The post-split fixture shenanigans will then crop up again. Presume though that the fixtures will be amended to avoid this issue which continues to show the unfairness of a split after an uneven number of matches.
I do like the concept of a split but on a fair and equitable basis.
Away to Hearts at Murrayfield.Quote:

I think we will be at home. Hearts will have forgot to order grass seed and the artificial element of their hybrid pitch will have been stretched so thin to save money that it will have massive holes in it. The SPFL will give them a few months and the opportunity to play at a bigger stadium to pay for the new pitch

To Linfield, apparently!Quote:

Sky advertised it as 9am on SSN
Ideal, thanks!Quote:

Away game but live on TV would suit me best as I'm at Rebellion in Blackpool for opening weekend.
I think with RFC2012 finishing 3rd again, we should be expecting either both at home twice or both away twice pre-split, once againQuote:

I’m sure we had snow in February this year ?
I think we’ll be away to St Mirren. They’ll be due a home match, we’ll be due to play away and there’s the Stubbs factor.
Hibs v St Mirren first game guaranteed. Stubbsy V Hibs
Will have to be the other way round, as St Mirren as league winners will get a home gameQuote:

Yeah - iirc - the full list is released morning of 15th June but sometimes there are leaks/hints the night before on news sites on what the Day 1 fixtures will be. TV dates usually confirmed a few days after.Quote:

Last year’s tv fixture’s were announced on 11th July, so there’s a good chance, even if we’re not on TV, they will announce our game as being on the Sunday.Quote:

I think it will be St. Mirren at Easter Road. However, I'd love it to be Livingston away from home. Always fancied a trip there.
As said earlier on the thread, St Mirren will be due a home game, to unfurl the Championship flagQuote:

One things for certain, Rangers 1st game will be on TV
Only the Premier League. I think that the EFL go straight through. They can’t afford breaks with 46 League fixtures to fit in.Quote:

Bloody stupid idea.
Celtic will be home, so rangers will be away and 9 times out of 10 the old firm away game is shown so I'd agree with you there!Quote:

Aberdeen v Livingston
Celtic v Kilmarnock
Dundee v Motherwell
Hamilton v St Johnstone
Hearts v Rangers
St Mirren v Hibs
sellick v us as the season opener, possible title decider in the first game :)
A St Mirren insider reckons these are the opening day fixtures
I’d be happy with this
Full opening day fixture list:
Aberdeen v Livingston
Celtic v Dundee
Hamilton Academical v St Johnstone
Hibernian v Motherwell
Kilmarnock v Rangers
St Mirren v Heart of Midlothian
Away to Livi
I'd take that.Quote:

Slightly off topic but please give Jambos a plastic pitch away first up and let them bleat about their superstar centre forward being unavailable.
After today's announcement I can't wait to see when the 1st derby is.
Should be at home 1stQuote:

Hoping for St Mirren away but think it will be Dundee at Home

Rangers first up is a certainty, in my opinion.
Celtic v Rangers already confirmed as 4th game of the season, 1st/2nd Sept
That's the only game that counts tbf.Quote:
