Celtic begin Scottish Premiership defence against Ross County

Celtic will start their bid for a fifth straight Scottish Premiership title at home to Ross County on August 1.

Celtic will begin their bid for a fifth straight Scottish Premiership title with a home tie against Ross County on August 1.

The full fixture lists for Scottish football were released today, with last season's runners-up Aberdeen facing a tricky opener away at 'New Firm' rivals Dundee United on the opening weekend.

Newly-promoted Hearts, who romped to the Championship title last term, will be up against St Johnstone at home in their first fixture of the 2015-16 season.

Scottish Cup winners Inverness have a home game against Motherwell, while elsewhere on matchday one, Hamilton Academical host Partick Thistle and Dundee travel to Kilmarnock.

In the Championship, Rangers' new manager Mark Warburton will begin his time in charge with a home match against newly-relegated St Mirren at Ibrox.
