The following midweek, Ian Cathro’s side will then host Rangers, before completing the trio with a Saturday, 4 February trip to Motherwell.

Aberdeen will host Dundee in front of the BT Sport cameras in the first game back for Premiership clubs after four weeks of no league fixtures. Also on that weekend is Rangers’ visit to Motherwell, which will be shown live by Sky Sports on the Saturday lunchtime.

A day after Hearts and Motherwell battle it out, Sky Sports will show Celtic’s trip to St Johnstone with a Sunday, 12.30pm kick-off.

Two weeks later, armchair fans will be treated to two live matches, both of which will be screened by Sky. Aberdeen visit Kilmarnock in the early kick-off, before Dundee host Rangers at 3pm.

The second Friday night kick-off of the period will see Rangers go to Inverness. The same trip will be made by Celtic the following Wednesday, 24 hours after Aberdeen travel to Hamilton.
