The fixtures for next seasons Celtic League and Celtic Cup have been released and there are some interesting ties throughout the season. The newco will start their Celtic adventure away to Scottish Borders before playing their first home match a week later against the Leinster Lions. A week later they play their first Celtic Cup match at home to Glasgow, a match which could have been avoided had they been one of the lucky teams to get a bye to the quarter finals.

Another interesting date is the Boxing Day clash with Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park. In the past this date has always been set aside for a match with Pontypridd and it looks as though the Celtic organisers want this tradition to continue.

Interestingly, there are no breaks throughout the season which have become a regular feature in the Welsh game. The season starts in early September and then the Celtic League, Celtic Cup and Heineken Cup continue through the World Cup and Six Nations until early May.
