Hearts will face St Johnstone on the opening weekend of the new season as they learn their schedule for the full campaign.
The Jambos missed out on third spot last season and with that the guarantee of European group stage football. That privilege goes to Aberdeen after a stunning run of form under Barry Robson with his troops entering the Europa League play-off round with the back up of the Europa Conference League proper - a luxury the Gorgie men enjoyed last campaign.
It's the qualifying route for the third tier competition for the capital men who enter at the third qualifying round. The calendar for the season is now filling up fast after the matchday schedule up until the league split was released by the SPFL this morning including all the derby dates with Lee Johnson and his Hibs side. Edinburgh Live Sport brings you all the fixtures from matchday 1 to 33 ahead of the league split.
