Scottish Premiership fixtures hand champions Celtic home opener
Daily MailCeltic will kick-off their quest for a ninth straight Premiership title against St Johnstone on August 3. Champions Celtic will start their campaign at home at Parkhead with St Johnstone to visitors Celtic have swept all aside over the last three years on their march to an unprecedented triple treble and the prospect of a 10th title in a row will be tantalisingly close if they can keep their winning run up over the next 12 months. Steven Gerrard's side get their campaign up and running the following day as they take on Kilmarnock - who will have new boss Angelo Alessio in charge for the first time in domestic competition - at Rugby Park. Rangers are away at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park on the opening weekend of the 2019-20 season Aberdeen - who lost their grip on their 'best of the rest' tag last season after seeing their four-year run of second place finishes come to an end - host Hearts on the opening day while Hibernian will be hoping to kick-on as Paul Heckingbottom shapes up for his first full season in charge as they welcome St Mirren to Leith. The final round of fixtures before the split takes place on April 4, with Aberdeen against hosting Hearts, Celtic travelling to Hibs, Kilmarnock facing Livingston at Rugby Park, Rangers taking on Motherwell in Govan, County welcoming St Mirren to Dingwall and St Johnstone facing Accies in Perth.
