The fixture date for the first league match between Rangers and Celtic has been confirmed.
Rangers will host the first derby clash between the clubs at Ibrox.
Celtic will travel across the city to face Rangers on the fourth matchday of the season on Sunday, September 3.
The match will kick-off at 12pm.
Confirming the fixture schedule, SPFL chief Neil Doncaster said: “We know the publication of the fixtures is something that is always eagerly anticipated by clubs and fans alike and we are very much looking forward to the 2023/24 league season kicking off at the beginning of August.
“Season 2022/23 once again showcased the very best of Scottish football – with great games and drama in abundance. For the first time since the SPFL was established in June 2013, more than five million fans attended matches across our competitions, underlining the passion for the game in this country.
“I am sure that 2023/24 will prove to be another memorable season and hopefully one that ends with Scotland’s participation at the European Championships in Germany next summer.
“I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Lowland League champions, The Spartans, to the SPFL following their play-off win over Albion Rovers last month.
“I wish all 42 member clubs the very best for the forthcoming season and hope the supporters enjoy their football in the months ahead.”
Gary Hughes, director of football at Sky Sports, said: “We’re looking forward to another exciting season of drama in the SPFL.
"We’re delighted to kick off the season with Celtic and Rangers both live on the opening day and pleased to confirm three fixtures including the Edinburgh derby way in advance as Sky Sports continues to be the home of Scottish football.”
