Who will we get first game of the new season?

[Donegal Hibby]

I hope this is correct as I was looking back on our first games of the season since we got promoted back to the premier and we have played ….

2017/18 - Partick at home . 3-1 Win …Boyle , Whittaker, S. Murray .
2018/19 - Motherwell at home . 3-0 Win … Mallan , Shaw , Boyle .
2019/20 - St Mirren at home . 1-0 Win … Allan .
2020/21 - Killie at home . 2-1 Win ... Boyle 2 .
2021/22 - Motherwell away. 2-3 Win … Magennis , Doidge , Boyle .
2022/23 - St Johnstone away. 0-1 Win . Josh Campbell.
2023/24 - St Mirren home 2-3 loss . Le Fondre , Doidge .
2024/25 - St Mirren away 3-0 loss .
2025/26 - ????? ….

Predicting we get Livi away first fixture.

[SaulGoodman]

Celtic away no doubt.

[Springbank]

Celtic away no doubt.

I would expect Rangers to get Livvy first

I personally wouldn't mind getting Celtic out the way first game tbh

[hibby67]

Not sure about who we get but am I correct in saying it will be on Sunday 03/08 due to us playing in the Euro qualifiers?

[Stuart93]

Hearts away ala Brian Kerr derby

[Donegal Hibby]

I can understand the reasoning in getting one of the OF out of the way but I can also see the benefits in getting a easier start and getting of to a flyer which boasts confidence, morale of the team too .

[Greenbeard]

Wouldn't mind The Sticky Buns either home or away. First domestic league game will bear no relation to whatever pre-season games they have played under their new all-conquering hero of a manager. It would be as good a chance as any to give him, his team and their disgusting support a right good kick in the nuts.

[Unseen work]

Falkirk away

[Stevie Reid]

Got a feeling we’ll get Aberdeen

[Pretty Boy]

Dundee United at home.

[Onceinawhile]

Dundee (a)

St Johnstone away 2022 was a 1-1 draw no?

In terms of this coming season I’d be wanting hearts. For us it would just be a case of picking up where we left off where as for them and their transition they could very well be there for the taking. Nothing would do the team and support more favours than another away derby win.

We won last minute, it came off Rocky's hand and would've been disallowed with VAR.

[JohnM1875]

Celtic away no doubt.

Good chance to lay down an early marker

[Donegal Hibby]

Apologies as I actually doubted what you said about the hand and VAR would have disallowed it . Thankfully no VAR back then( 5:23 in ) …

It's the goal in my pic :wink:

Remember watching that game and thinking what a player we had signed in Cabraja

[Hibernian Verse]

He'd have been sent off with VAR in that game as well

[Tambo]

Falkirk or Livingston away.

[Ryan91]

Only one home game to start the season since 2021-22, think we're due a home game, watch it be St Mirren for the 3rd year running

[darwenhibby]

I think sheep away
They will rub our noses in it about missing out on guaranteed European group stage football

[Corstorphine Hibby]

Will this be the season the bigot brothers play each other on the opening day of the season?

[Donegal Hibby]

In fairness I thought he looked good as well , sometimes things don’t work out for a variety of reasons .

[blackpoolhibs]

Can i have 11 guesses?

[Hibees1973]

How is this done.

Totally random by computer, then announced

Or run past the OF to get their approval, then announced.

[Paul1642]

I’ll take that. The only games I want to avoid first game are Tynecastle, Paisley and Celtic home or away.

As for European group stage football, here’s hoping we have it back by the time the season kicks off :)

[Alfred E Newman]

Falkirk away

[Sloop67]

Away to Motherwell or Falkirk

I could look it up - but where's the fun in that? - but did Nisbet no score in the 20/21 Killie match?

[Glory Lurker]

Aberdeen or Sevco at home, please. A total marker victory, hopefully. Genuinely can't remember us landing one since 1986 (although hopefully a better marker than that one was!).

Although, was the 5-0 scudding of United the first game of the season in 94/95? Scottish Cup holders at the time, if so, but still think win against AFC or RFC would throw it down.

[Donegal Hibby]

If he did it must have been chalked off I think GL . Boyle definitely got two goals that game . Really strange times with the cardboard cutouts and no fans at ER . I think there were loads of cardboard cutouts of kangaroos at one point too wasn’t there?

Yes the 5-0 was the first day of the season. Remember Hibs tannoy announcer congratulating United on their 1-0 win over Rangers in the Final and warm applause coming from the Hibs support 🤣

97/98 began with a brilliant 2-1 win over Celtic which I'd say was a marker. Henrik Larsson making his debut and inadvertently laying on Hibs late winner! Just a pity how that season turned out come May.😞

[scoopyboy]

I think it will be a home game.

It will be against someone we played away first last season so my bet would be St.Mirren, Kilmarnock or Rangers

There's a notable lack of 'big' games there. Also like we've had run out the mill fixtures by design.

Must be due a top six side, excluding St Mirren.

[Scorrie]

Falkirk away

[Billy Bunter 07]

Aberdeen at home on Monday night.

[Scouse Hibee]

If that’s the case I hope it’s an away game.

I should have looked it up!

I'd forgotten about the kangaroos. I think Forza Fred had one? Terrible time, all that. It would have been just brutal without the football.

Hope you are well Chris.

[eastmainsmsh]

Livi away

[Billy Whizz]

Think we’re due the festive derby at ER. Wonder if it will be a Boxing Day or New Year (2nd Jan) game

[Garymcl]

I’m going for Motherwell away with a huge hibby away support :thumbsup:

[Keith_M]

I have a funny feeling it'll be St Mirren at home.

[Donegal Hibby]

You could very well be right as we have had them three times as first game out of the last eight .
