After the opener at Livingston, Motherwell will host Celtic for the first home game of the season. That will be followed with the first Lanarkshire derby as we cross the Clyde to Hamilton.
Games against both Edinburgh sides follow. There will be no trip to Dundee but Dingwall returns to the circuit for a long trip on Boxing Day before the usual gamae against our neighbours on 29 December.
The winter break will be ended with a Scottish Cup tie before legaue business resumes at Pittodrie on 29 January. The last game before the split will be at Ibrox on 4 April.
Before the league kick off we have a series of warm-up matches then four Betfred Cup group ties (Queen of the South A, Morton H, Dumbarton A, Annan H) before the league starts on the weekend of 3 August.
