Kilmarnock: Scottish Premiership 2023/24 fixtures and schedule | Football News

Kilmarnock begin their Scottish Premiership season live on Sky Sports when last season’s runners-up Rangers visit Rugby Park.

Derek McInnes’ side face Michael Beale’s team in a 5.30pm kick-off on the opening day of the season, hoping to end a run of six consecutive defeats against the Gers.

They follow up that tough opening with back-to-back away trips to Hearts and Motherwell, before hosting Ross County just ahead of the international break on September 2.

The first trip to the Old Firm comes on October 7 when Kilmarnock visit Celtic Park, while they are made to wait for their sole scheduled trip to Ibrox until January 2.

Killie’s Christmas fixtures see them host St Johnstone on December 23, followed by a trip to St Mirren on December 27 and a visit by Dundee on December 30.

They finish the regular season before the split with Ross County visiting Rugby Park on April 6 and a trip to St Johnstone a week later on April 13.
