THE SPFL have announced they will reveal the fixture schedule for Scotland's top four divisions next month.
Match lists for the 2021/22 campaign will be published on Tuesday, June 15 at 9am as teams across the country get their first sight of what lies ahead in the Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two.
In the top flight, Rangers will defend their league crown after winning a historic 55th title this term, while Hearts will return to the Premiership after lifting the silverware under the guidance of Robbie Neilson.
Partick Thistle will take their place back in the second tier following their dramatic League One success in recent days, while Queen's Park will look to make their mark following their promotion from League Two.
The final spots in all four divisions will be settled in the coming days as the Premiership is played to a close next week and the play-offs in the other three tiers are completed.
The 2021/22 season is scheduled to begin on the weekend on Saturday, July 31 as attentions already turn to the new campaign ahead of a huge summer for Scottish football that will see Steve Clarke's side compete at the European Championships.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
