When is the first Old Firm game of the season?

Celtic and Rangers will meet again on league duty for the first time since 2012.

The first game between the sides will take place on 10 September at Celtic Park.

The Glasgow rivals will meet again at Ibrox on Hogmanay with a 3pm kick-off.

The final pre-split match between the pair will be back at Celtic Park on 11 March.

It’s likely the two will have a fourth fixture after the Ladbrokes Premiership split, which is almost certain to be played at Ibrox. The exact date will not be determined until the post-split fixtures are announced in April, but history would lead us to believe it’ll either take place on matchday 34 or 35.

All current dates and kick-off times are subject to change if the games are selected to be shown live on television.
