Scottish football season preparations

Overview
In late July 2026, Scottish clubs involved in European competition rearranged their domestic fixtures to avoid congestion ahead of Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League qualifiers. The Premier Sports Cup draw was scheduled following the St Mirren‑Dunfermline match, and clubs such as Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Motherwell and Hibernian agreed to postpone their Scottish Premiership matches slated for 22 August.
A few days later the Scottish Professional Football League launched a free online fantasy‑predictor game for fans and a media outlet released a season preview that projected Celtic to retain the Premiership title, Rangers as runners‑up and predicted cup winners. The fantasy game and the preview highlighted heightened fan engagement and media speculation as the 2026‑27 Scottish football season approached.
