Famous Celtic fan Auldheid has wrote an article about how unfair the fixture list is this season for Celtic.
Initially I thought Celtic got promoted Hearts away because they replaced the relegated club from last season in the fixture list.
But 2 Premiership clubs were relegated last season and Celtic were due to play at Home against Kilmarnock because we had a 1-1 draw in our first away game last season.
Basically the SPFL had the luxury of a choice to make and they favoured Sevco.
They could've played Celtic at home to Hearts twice before the split because I can't remember playing at Tynecastle AND Easter Road Twice Each before the split.
It also means that our city rivals only visit Hibs and Hearts Once each before the split.
It will level itself out next season but winning the league this season will bring in a possible £40 million jackpot and an advantage to the Premiership Champions going forward.
Also Sevco, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts will all get into the top 6 this season, which means Celtic will have to visit one of those grounds for a 3rd time this season and at the same time Sevco will play one of those clubs at Ibrox for a 3rd time.
How stupid can the SPFL be OR it's intentional.

I seen a version were it's broken down into fact 1 fact 2 etc. We have games against all the top 6 away from home in between Europa qualifiers and group games. Its obvious when you actually go through it all. Not paranoid enough!

Many of us have suspected the old 'random fixture computer' of having a Sevco default setting and every year it gets more and more obvious. The SPFL and SFA know full well that Celtic never complain or even hint at the corruption or dubious practices that constantly occur.

Pud,
The Glasgow clubs always visited Edinburgh 3 times each, before the split when all the clubs were in the top league.
If Hearts had replaced Hamilton’s fixtures, then fair enough because we would’ve been due to play Hamilton twice before the split if they didn’t get relegated.
But the SPFL had a choice to make this season and they choose to send Celtic to Edinburgh 4 times before the split for the first time ever and Sevco only twice.
The SPFL have caused an absolute shambles after the split, by choosing Hearts instead of Dundee.
Because Dundee were never going to finish in the top 6 this season.

Celtic should but won't ask the hard questions. Time they grew a pair.

We should be beating these wee diddy teams on a public park!
