The SPFL has today (Friday 4 July) announced the first set of live television fixtures for the 2014/15 season.
Fans will be able to watch Championship newcomers Rangers and Heart of Midlothian go head to head at Ibrox on Sunday 10 August, live on Sky Sports, while Premiership champions Celtic’s opener against Scottish Cup holders St Johnstone, on Wednesday 13 August, will also be shown live by Sky Sports.
It has also been confirmed that Sky Sports will televise the Championship’s first Edinburgh derby between Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian on Sunday 17 August as well as Celtic v Dundee United on Saturday 16 August.
BT Sport, meanwhile, will be broadcasting Rangers’ trip to Falkirk on Friday 15 August along with Celtic’s matches at Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Saturday 23 August) and Dundee (Sunday 31 August).
Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: “After a hugely successful first SPFL season, we are all very eager to get the 2014/2015 campaign under way. We are delighted to continue our relationship with our broadcast partners and the first few weeks of the season include some widely anticipated fixtures.
“There is an increasing level of interest in every level of Scottish football and live TV coverage plays a significant role in making our game more accessible. There will no doubt be more eyes on the Scottish game this season and, given the quality of broadcast fixtures on offer, it’s easy to see why.”
