We'll face the First Divisions champions on Saturday 4 August. Our first trip to Dingwall, hopefully in the summer sunshine! The mysterious Club 12 will be our hosts on 15 September.
The following week will see St Johnstone at Fir Park before we hit the road again and travel to Kilmarnock. After that we have St Mirren and Inverness at home to round off a opening spell that gives an opportunity for a flying start to the campaign.
We have to bear in mind that there will be at least four European ties mixed in with those and it will be vital that we don't fall between UEFA and SPL stools.
There will be a pause in the league campaign between 2 January and 19 January.
Motherwell will visit Parkhead for the first time at the start of 2013 (2 January) and the last game before the split will be at Fir Park with St Mirren.
Needless to say, the TV schedulers have yet to disrupt our diaries son some of thos fixtures may be moved.
