Livingston to get 2022/23 season underway as Bonnyrigg Rose and FC Edinburgh handed tough starts

The match at the Tony Macaroni Arena on July 30 was selected for live TV coverage and will be the first match to take place in the new campaign.

David Martindale’s side finished in seventh place last term and will be looking to cause an upset having defeated both Rangers and Celtic at home in recent seasons.

The Lions travel to Dundee United the following weekend before hosting Hibs.

SPFL newcomers Bonnyrigg Rose will begin life in cinch League Two with a home game against Forfar Athletic. The Loons finished second in the division last term and will be a tough opponent for Robbie Horn’s side.

The newly rebranded FC Edinburgh face a similarly tricky opening day fixture as they travel to Kelty Hearts in a meeting of the two clubs who gained promotion to League One at the conclusion of last season. Though Alan Maybury’s side didn’t defeat League Two’s runaway leaders last term, they did manage two draws and were beaten by one goal in the other two contests.
