The first Old Firm clash of the season takes place on September 1 live on Sky Sports as Rangers travel to Celtic, a fixture that could be key in the title race this season, and one Clement is yet to taste victory in.
The sides will clash again at Ibrox on January 2 - live on Sky Sports - with their final pre-split meeting at Parkhead on March 15.
Elsewhere, Rangers will make their first trip of the season to Tannadice on September 14 as they face newly-promoted Dundee United, while a trip to Pittodrie awaits on October 30.
With no winter break this season, Rangers face St Mirren away on Boxing Day, Motherwell away on December 29 and the likes of Celtic, Hibernian, St Johnstone and Dundee United in January.
Rangers' final pre-split fixture takes place on April 12 at Aberdeen, with the league campaign concluding on the weekend of May 17/18 and the play-off final bringing a curtain down on proceedings on May 22 & 25.
Balogun knows what Rangers need to end Celtic's dominance
Rangers defender Leon Balogun said they will work on "weak spots" to ensure they can cope with the pressure of a title race.
"We need to have a shift in mentality and build more confidence," the Nigeria international told Sky Sports News.
"We need to build that through pre-season, but that's a process that we need to work on every day by reputation mainly and gaining confidence in what you do.
"Under the manager we've seen what he was able to do in a very short period of time.
"Given he now has a full pre-season to work with us to implement his ideas, that's one factor. Apart from that, it's what we're about every year and the quality that's in the team. It's about ticking a few boxes and working on a few weak spots that we had last season and make sure they go away.
"It might be pressure, it might be a mentality thing or it might be confidence but whatever it is we have to make sure we get it out of the system in pre-season. The earlier the better.
"If you want to be the champion you need to beat that team that is your rival. That was the stumble stone last season and we need to make sure it doesn't happen this season."
