The Hoops – with Neil Lennon back permanently at Parkhead – get their quest for nine-in-a-row under way at Celtic Park.
Celtic’s quest for a record-equalling ninth successive Scottish Premiership title will begin at home to St Johnstone on Saturday 3 August.
The Flag Day match at Parkhead has been scheduled for a 3pm kickoff but, according to the Daily Record, will be brought forward to an earlier star.
Neil Lennon’s side won the domestic treble for the third consecutive season last term but disappointment came in the form of two Old Firm defeats away.
The Hoops will get the chance to rectify that in the very first month of the campaign, with 31 August tabled in for the first game between the two bitter Glasgow rivals, away at their place.
A busy December sees Celtic travel to Paisley on Boxing Day to play St Mirren and they round off 2019 at home to their Old Firm rivals on 29 December, their last game before the winter break.
The third Old Firm derby of the campaign is on 14 March, away from Parkhead, and Celtic’s final fixture before the league splits is against Hibernian at Easter Road on 4 April.
Here is how some Bhoys reacted to the club’s Twitter post about the fixture reveal:
The Scottish Premiership will kick off on the weekend of 3-4 August, the winter break is between 30 December and 17 January, and the regular season ends on the weekend of 16-17 May with the Premiership playoff final scheduled for 20 and 24 May.
