Celtic’s home derby against Rangers in front of the Sky Sports cameras will remain on Saturday 30 December, but will now have a 12noon kick-off.

Similarly, the festive Edinburgh derby will stay on its originally scheduled date of Wednesday 27 December with a 7.45pm kick-off, and will also be shown by Sky Sports.

Sky will be at Easter Road twice in four days to broadcast Hibs’ meetings with Celtic and Rangers. Three days later BT Sport will show Hibs’ trip to Aberdeen.

The Dons will get their own share of live coverage, taking on Rangers at Pittodrie on Sunday 3 December for a Sky Sports lunchtime airing, before travelling to Dundee the following weekend for BT Sport’s Friday night football match.

Along with the clashes against Hibs and Rangers, Celtic fans will be able to watch their side face Hearts on Sunday 17 December (Sky) and Dundee on Boxing day (BT). Both of these away matches will have 12.30pm kick-offs.

One lower league match will be broadcast live by BT Sport, as Dundee United travel to Paisley to take on St Mirren on Friday 29 December.

Other lower league broadcasts, shown by BBC Alba, will be announced in due course.
