On that day the full fixture lists will be revealed for all 42 clubs across the Ladbrokes Premiership, Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2. It will start the countdown to the opening fixtures of the 2017/18 league campaign which take place on the weekend of Saturday 5 August. The announcement follows the news earlier this week that Ladbrokes has extended its title sponsorship of the SPFL for another season. SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: “The announcement of league fixtures for a new Scottish football season is the most keenly-anticipated moment of the close season and this year will be no different. “While there is still plenty of drama to unfold this season, we’re pleased to be able to advise clubs and supporters of this key date ahead of the next league campaign, adding to the positive news of Ladbrokes’ continued support for Scottish football.” Key dates for 2017/18 Opening fixtures - Weekend of Saturday 5 August, 2017 Premiership play-off final - Thursday 17 May 2018 and Sunday 20 May, 2018 (There is a contingency in place should a club be in both the Ladbrokes Premiership play-off final and the Scottish Cup final) Ladbrokes Premiership Winter break - 1 January until 19 January 2018 (return for Scottish Cup R4) Final fixture (R38) - Weekend of 12 & 13 May, 2018 Ladbrokes Championship, League 1 and League 2 Final fixture (R36) - Saturday 28 April 2018 http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/201718-fixture-release-day-confirmed/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,859 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I hope the SPFL have factored in ra Sellik's post-season tour of Japan? We are moving into the tenth year of Peter's pledge; surely, he intends to fulfill this close season? I am beginning to suspect Peter tells porkies! How's that pledge to find the culprit that hit Fernando Ricksen with a lighter going? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just watching the Nacho interview on Rangers TV and when he speaks about that season you can see the anger in his face! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 6,222 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Where possible I would love the first and the last matches to be derby matches for all teams if possible 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,677 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Where possible I would love the first and the last matches to be derby matches for all teams if possible I'm hoping for an opening day home game like last time. But not the same result as last time. Goes without saying the type of result I would prefer. I'm hoping we have played 6 Euro games by that time and made it into the Europa league play-off round but I foresee a problem for the opening SPL weekend prior to that play-off round. SPL opening weekend is Saturday August 5th while the second leg of the Europa league third qualifying Round is Thursday August 3rd. Presuming our opening match would be put off till at least the Sunday but it's still not ideal. But then that's what we will be facing until at least Xmas if we make the Europa group stage. First qualifying round First leg: 29 June 2017 Second leg: 6 July 2017 Second qualifying round First leg: 13 July 2017 Second leg: 20 July 2017 Third qualifying round First leg: 27 July 2017 Second leg: 3 August 2017 Play-off round First leg: 17 August 2017 Second leg: 24 August 2017 Group stage matchday one: 14 September 2017 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it was before the league started so would cause major problems with Europe aswell....... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We avoid the Betfred group stages as we are in Europe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
