Terrors test for Hibs

Pat Fenlon: Hibernian manager will start the season against Dundee United

Hibernian will open their Scottish Premier League campaign with a trip to Dundee United on 5 August.

Pat Fenlon's side finished second bottom last season, largely due to an abysmal home record, something they will hope to remedy when city rivals Hearts travel to Easter Road on 11 August.

September begins with a trip to SPL champions Celtic, with a home date against 'Club 12' their first fixture in October.

Hibs play three of their five November fixtures at home, against St Mirren, Dundee United and Aberdeen, and they also have two games over Christmas.

Ross County are the visitors on Boxing Day, before Hibs round off the year against Celtic, and they begin 2013 with a trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts.

The Scottish Cup runners-up host 'Club 12' on 19 January ahead of trips to Aberdeen and Ross County.

The third Edinburgh derby takes place at Easter Road on 9 March, before Hibs finish the normal season away at Celtic on 6 April.
