The reveal of the Scottish Premiership schedule brings three Old Firms

The Scottish Premiership schedule for the 2023/24 season is now available. As is standard for the top flight in Scotland, there are a number of headline games. None is bigger than Old Firm between Rangers and Celtic. These two clubs have more Scottish Premiership titles than all other clubs combined, and it’s not getting too close.

They are, unsurprisingly, the favorites to win the league again. No team apart from those two has won the division since Aberdeen in 1984/85. That was Sir Alex Ferguson’s penultimate year at the Scottish side. With Brendan Rodgers returning to Celtic Park and Michael Beale entering his first full season at Ibrox, their battle should be entertaining once again.

Of course, those aren’t the only teams watching the Scottish Premiership. Dundee return to the division after a season in the second division. Ironically, it replaces Dundee United in the top flight. Dundee are the only newcomer of the season after Ross County won the Premiership play-offs at the end of last season.

Each of the following games and the rest of the campaign is available at Paramount+. Full TV and streaming information on the season is available on the Scottish Premiership TV schedule. Below are five games to circle ahead of the campaign.

Early highlights of the Scottish Premiership schedule

Dundee vs. Motherwell (Saturday, August 5)

The only promoted team of the season hosts Motherwell on his return to the top flight. That’s a win-win for Dundee, which has been a yo-yo club lately. Motherwell competed in the bottom six competition at the end of last season.

Aberdeen vs. Celtic (Saturday 12 Aug)

If a team is going to challenge Rangers or Celtic for a top two spot, Aberdeen would be a safe bet. Aberdeen had a hiccup of 10th in 2021/22. That’s why Aberdeen have finished in the top four nine times in the past 10 seasons.

Rangers vs. Celtic (Sunday 3 September)

The first Old Firm of the season is in its fourth week. There’s something about early season derbies that means a little bit more. In all likelihood, this game will be a quick marker for the rest of the campaign for both clubs. An early lead at the table can go a long way.

hearts vs. Hibs (Saturday, October 7)

On matchday eight, the Edinburgh derby has its first game of the season. While not a title decider like Old Firm, these two teams are eager to finish in the European qualifying sections, like they did last season.

Rangers vs. Celtic (Saturday, April 6)

Jumping from the start of the season to the penultimate weekend before the split, this is likely to be a crucial game for the Scottish Premiership title. This is Old Firm’s third and final game of the season in the current Premiership schedule and the hope is that it will be the most important of the bunch.
