The SPL fixtures come out tomorrow, which is always a good sign that the start of the season isn't too far away. Any preference for our first fixture? I would love to see us get off to a winning start, so a winnable home fixture would be good. Although we are better away from home, so maybe not. Ach who cares, we have to play everyone at some point.

Apparently Rangers will not appear in the fixtures, but an unnamed 12th club will be there instead, who may or may not turn out to be the Rangers Newco once the vote is taken.

ICT v Club #12 ;-)

I'll take Dundee away for the opening game.

I will be checking carefully to see if any of Club 12's home matches clash with Celtics home matches. Somehow. I don't think they will.

You will be right on that one!

I bet they both have a home game on 11th August....one which will be rescheduled to allow for "lucrative friendlies".

I wonder who Celtic will be playing at New Year? :sherlock:

Would like St Mirren at home

Motherwell

The Rangers F C do not have any players so can hardly play in the SPL. They have just over 2 weeks between SPL meetings to consider their application to join, to sign a few players. They can hardly be allowed to join without players.

More to the point, are Divisions 1,2 and 3 going to list a Club 10?????????? as if they dont all their schedules could change soon.

We are away to Paisley on first day.

The fixtures are currently appearing on the SPL home page at the minute:

The New Year Derby is back!

No clash with Celtic home fixtures, unsurprisingly. But Club 12 does clash with Dundee Utd's home games, which coulod turn out to be a problem.

6th October, 2nd January and 16th March against the caravaners

Also 2 home games against both Celtic and Ross County. Will hopefully mean a good boost with extra ticket sales for these games.

if current The Rangers club 12 Newco are relegated, then they could be at home to Cowdenbeath or away to Elgin for the New Year knuckle drag fest, bit of an alternative compaired to Parasite

Also 2 home games against both Celtic and Ross County. Will hopefully mean a good boost with extra ticket sales for these games.

And Celtic travel first to Dingwall then Inverness on consecutive weeks.

Quite happy with that, always enjoy visiting Midden park...no doubt the Celts will have something to say about 2 trips to the Highlands within a week in August

celtic conspiracy, spl must hate them, two highland trips in a row.

off topic, but wonder how C*unty will get on with postponements this winter, they always seem to get hit as caravan parks dont have much drainage

Interesting. If Dundee are promoted, the SPL will need to re-jig the fixtures.

Happy with Midden away on first game of the season. One of my favourite away days.

I would imagine they'd do as they do now. If fixtures clash one moves to a sunday.

Not something those threatening to turn their back on the club need worry about at this stage I would have thought.

Eh? Both Celtic and Club 12 have home fixtures on the 2nd week, Saturday 11th August.

At a very quick count, I think I spotted no fewer than nine occasions when Dundee United and "Club 12" are both playing at home at the same time, so if Club 12 were to become Dundee, then that would mean substantial disruption possibly for both Dundee teams. On the other hand there are no "Club 12 - Celtic" clashes, now that Celtic aren't playing on August 11th.

Nine clashes is just about statistically what you would expect for two teams being drawn H - H if their fixtures had been set out completely independently of each other (it's actually 8.25 - a quarter of the 33 games - but you can't have 0.25 of a game).

What would seem to have happened is that the SPL fixtures will have been made up, starting possibly as long ago as it became known that Dunfermline were down, and when there was no serious risk of the now ex-club which was formerly Rangers not being in the SPL so they jigged them to keep what would now have to be called "The Split New Firm" apart. The more recent introduction of serious doubt about the final composition of the SPL has then possibly resulted in "Rangers" being replaced game by game by "Club 12" on the list at a much later stage.

On the other hand some may prefer to adopt the conspiracy theory......

Celtic game postponed in advance to let them have a lucrative friendly.
