Rangers’ first game in the Irn-Bru Third Division, away to Peterhead will also broadcast live on Sky on 11 August.

“Our viewers will see the SPL for five more years and our schedule includes the opening league match for Celtic.

“We will also follow Rangers as they plot their way back to Scottish football’s top flight.
