    The latest television picks have caused a significant shakeup in the fixtures of Celtic and Rangers, two of Scotland’s most prominent football clubs. The changes, announced by Sky Sports and Premier Sports, will see several matches rescheduled to accommodate the clubs’ European commitments and other events.

    One of the most notable changes is the rescheduling of Rangers’ match against St Johnstone, which was originally set to take place on October 6. Due to the Great Scottish Run, which takes place on the same day, the match has been moved to an 8 p.m. kick-off time to avoid any potential clashes with road closures and the event itself.

    Celtic, on the other hand, will see their match against St Johnstone moved to a 5:45 p.m. kick-off time on September 28, which will be broadcast live on Premier Sports. The Hoops will also have their match against Ross County broadcast live on Sky Sports on October 6, with a 12 p.m. kick-off time.

    The first Edinburgh derby of the season, between Rangers and Heart of Midlothian, has also been rescheduled to take place on October 27, although the kick-off time has yet to be determined.

    Other changes include:

    • Aberdeen vs. Heart of Midlothian on October 6, with a 3 p.m. kick-off time
    • Rangers vs. Heart of Midlothian on November 10, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Heart of Midlothian vs. Aberdeen on December 1, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • St Johnstone vs. Rangers on December 1, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Kilmarnock vs. Heart of Midlothian on December 15, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Rangers vs. Aberdeen on December 15, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Heart of Midlothian vs. St Johnstone on December 22, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Dundee United vs. Rangers on January 26, with a kick-off time yet to be determined
    • Rangers vs. Ross County on February 2, with a kick-off time yet to be determined

    These changes are subject to the Premier Sports Cup final, which may cause further fixture adjustments.

    The rescheduling of these matches is a result of the clubs’ European commitments, with Rangers and Heart of Midlothian participating in the Europa League and Conference League, respectively. The changes aim to ensure that the clubs have sufficient time to prepare for their European matches while also accommodating domestic fixtures.
