Celtic’s trip to St Mirren is the latest Scottish Premiership game selected to be shown live on Sky Sports.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will head to Paisley at noon on Sunday September 18, with the match coming four days after Celtic’s trip to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

The Buddies held Celtic to a goalless draw the last time the sides met at the SMiSA Stadium and are currently on a three-match winning run under Stephen Robinson, while Celtic are yet to drop a point this season and won their last match on the road 9-0 at Dundee United.

Prior to that, the Sky Sports cameras will be at Celtic Park for the first Old Firm of the new season which takes place on September 3 as Rangers visit Celtic in what will no doubt be a key fixture in the title race.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side then visit Pittodrie at noon on Saturday, September 10. The Dons drew the opening two meetings between the sides last season before losing the most recent clash at Ibrox and will be aiming to record their first league win over Rangers since 2018.

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster expects another “gripping” season of Scottish Premiership football, live on Sky Sports.

“We’ve enjoyed a really positive relationship with Sky for many, many years. It’s been a great partnership, we’ve seen audiences growing in terms of viewers on Sky Sports in recent years and I think a huge part of that is the partnership and the way in which we’ve developed that partnership with Sky.

“We’re very grateful for the support that Sky continues to give the whole of the Scottish game.
