Scottish Premiership opens with high-stakes matchups this weekend

The Scottish Premiership returns with six matches scheduled for the opening weekend, starting Friday, July 29, 2026, when Dundee United hosts Rangers. This follows the dramatic conclusion to last season, which saw Celtic secure their 13th title in 14 years against Hearts. Key players have transferred between clubs, with Lawrence Shankland and Derek McInnes moving from Hearts to Rangers, while Martin O'Neill takes charge for a fourth stint at Celtic. The season promises to build on the excitement of last year's campaign, and all matches will be available live on Sky Sports.
