Next season’s fixtures will be announced - Fri 15th June

[hibby6270]

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/fixtures-out-in-a-fortnight/

Anyone care to speculate who our first game will be against?
Will it be Home or Away?

[SChibs]

Away to Livingston

[660]

Away to Livingston

Unfair surely for the two best teams in the lothians to play each other on the opening day.

[1648]

One thing for sure The Rangers first four or five will not be against any of the top four. Have to ease SG in. It's the SPL way.

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

[murray26]

Are we definitely away 1st game..?

[Diclonius]

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.

[sleeping giant]

Motherwell at Easter Rd.

[southern hibby]

Away to St Johnstone me thinks.

[BlackSheep]

I reckon we will be at Celtic Park on opening weekend, Sunday 12pm KO, on TV

Hearts usually get that fixture😄

[DaveSo]

I'm going for a home game versus Sevco first game.
Substitutue Gerrard for Souness and we have a re-match of that glorious day back in 1986.
The media will be demanding it !

[BlackSheep]

Hearts usually get that fixture😄

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.

We could be playing on the Sunday though.

[Hulk1875]

Hoping for Saturday match for us as I'm away to santa ponsa Sunday morning, or even a 2:00 kick off Sunday would be ideal watch it in a pub

[BlackSheep]

???

Thats what I said....

Sat 12.15 Hearts v Livi
Sat 3pm Aberdeen v Rangers
Sun 12.30 Celtic v Hibs

Aye ok then, some of us have to work....

[LancsHibs]

Linfield away

[Daydreamer]

Celtic v Dundee Sky sports 12.30 Sat 4th August

Livingston v Hibs BT sports 13.30 Sun 5th August

Hearts v Rangers Sky sports 16.00 Sun 5th August

You heard it here first

[Billy Whizz]

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

[BlackSheep]

Aye ok then, some of us have to work....

Lol, I take it you work sundays then?

I’m not hoping for these, I’m just predicting what I think will be scheduled.

No, was at work today, so didn’t read all the replies on this thread, before replying😎

[ancient hibee]

Livi to start at Parkhead

[BlackSheep]

Ha, I see.... aye working hard or hardly working eh! Thankfully I get substantial amounts of downtime to peruse the forums 😂

[Bristolhibby]

St Mirren and Celtic both to be at home as Champions.

We were at home last season. I reckon we will be away first up this season.

[BenjiOscar]

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.

New year Derby should be at ER

Still one of my favourite games / experiences I’ve enjoyed at ER. An utterly brilliant day.

Watched the highlights so many many times on the old VHS!

[wookie70]

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

:agree: and make sure the fixture list has them playing sellick/sevco/aberdeen/us at murrayfield within their first 6 home games

[jgl07]

Are we definitely away 1st game..?

To Linfield, apparently!

[Jamesie]

Can anyone remember what time the fixtures came out last year? Was it 9am or later in the day? I have a few other plans that I want to fit around our home games so keen to see the list ASAP!

[PatHead]

Sky advertised it as 9am on SSN

[Jamesie]

Sky advertised it as 9am on SSN

Ideal, thanks!

[Since90+2]

Got a feeling we are going to be away to St Mirren first game of the season.

[Keith_M]

We'll sell out those tickets in 30 minutes.


Time for a Loyalty Points debate

:greengrin

[Hibby70]

Away game but live on TV would suit me best as I'm at Rebellion in Blackpool for opening weekend.

[Juniper Greens]

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.

I think with RFC2012 finishing 3rd again, we should be expecting either both at home twice or both away twice pre-split, once again

[GreenCastle]

We have a winter break 31st Dec till Jan 18th - same as this year I think.

English league having a 2 week break in February.

I’m sure we had snow in February this year ?

[.Sean.]

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.

[Nevi_SOL]

Hibs v St Mirren first game guaranteed. Stubbsy V Hibs

[Billy Whizz]

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 game

[Thecat23]

Home to Motherwell I’m going for.

Hearts away to St. Johnstone.

[hibby6270]

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.

[Bristolhibby]

Assuming we are still in Europe. Our opening game would have to be the Sunday, live or not.

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.
Livvi away would be nice, if we have an away game

[HibbyAndy]

Away to Kilmarnock

[yeezus]

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 flag

[bod]

Would rather the tv company's sorted out what they were shown even if it takes a couple of weeks rather than the fixtures being released early then changed for the armchair fan

[Billy Whizz]

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.

Apparently the EPL clubs are not all having the same break, it is staggered, presumably to keep TV matches coming.

Bloody stupid idea.

[danhibees1875]

One things for certain, Rangers 1st game will be on TV

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!

Away to Killie is also my guess.

[Hibby70]

Aberdeen v Livingston
Celtic v Kilmarnock
Dundee v Motherwell
Hamilton v St Johnstone
Hearts v Rangers
St Mirren v Hibs

[cabbageandribs1875]

sellick v us as the season opener, possible title decider in the first game :)

[Billy Whizz]

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

[Zazu62]

Away to Livi

I'd take that.

Plus Stubbsy to teach the Jambos a lesson.

[Diclonius]

I can confidently predict it'll be Aberdeen, Dundee, Hamilton, Hearts, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell or St Johnstone home or away, Celtic or St Mirren away or Rangers at home.

[hibby6270]

LOL :greengrin

That definitely just about covers it.:aok:

[Jamesie]

Anyone got any hints yet?

[Famous Fiver]

Slightly off topic but please give Jambos a plastic pitch away first up and let them bleat about their superstar centre forward being unavailable.

[007]

After today's announcement I can't wait to see when the 1st derby is.

[Billy Whizz]

Should be at home 1st

[hibee_girl]

Should be at home 1st

Doubt it, we had the first derby last season

[Billy Whizz]

Doubt it, we had the first derby last season

You’re right. I was thinking because the New Year Derby was away, we were away 1st
At least we’ll get the new year Derby at ER then😄

We're due the cup derby at ER too.

Thanks

[Bristolhibby]

Boxing Day at Easter Road please!

[Cod Boy]

In no order no doubt The Rangers first 6 games will be. Livingston St Mirren Hamilton Dundee St Johnstone Motherwell.

[BoomtownHibees]

All at home

[Souter96Mac]

Perhaps not as exciting as the europa league draw, as we're all familiar with the opposition, but following yesterday I'm fairly excited for the fixture announcement. Bring it on.

[Ronniekirk]

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

What is the date of the first game of the season?

[Hiber-nation]

What is the date of the first game of the season?

4 August.

[Big_Franck]

4 August.

We'll prob have a europa league game on the thursday before so our game will be moved to sunday 5th august I would have thought.

Can see us getting Aberdeen or The Rangers first game as they'll need to play on the sunday as well. Saves moving loads of fixtures from the saturday then.

[Famous Fiver]

Rangers first up is a certainty, in my opinion.

[Billy Whizz]

Celtic v Rangers already confirmed as 4th game of the season, 1st/2nd Sept

[stantonhibby]

That's the only game that counts tbf.

Just watching the video on the SPFL website while waiting for the fixtures. Some nice wee cameos from Scottie and Efe amongst others.
