The first Old Firm league meeting for four years will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Rangers travel to Celtic Park on Saturday, September 10 (noon kick-off) in the first of three Scottish Premiership matches to be broadcast by Sky over a 15-day period.

On Sunday, September 18, Derek McInnes takes his Aberdeen side to Dens Park to face Dundee (noon) and the Dons are in action seven days later when they host Rangers at Pittodrie with a 1pm kick-off.

The live matches are in addition to those to be shown over the first weekend of the 2016/17 season which were announced last month.

Mark Warburton will be given his first taste of top-flight action when Rangers take on Hamilton at Ibrox on Saturday, August 6, and just over 24 hours later Celtic begin their quest for a sixth successive title against Hearts at Tynecastle.
