The Loons will head to the national stadium to face relegated Queen's Park on Saturday, August 8.

With a trip to East Fife in the opening round of the Challenge Cup scheduled for Saturday, July 25, and a journey west to meet Clyde in round one of the CIS tourney earmarked for Saturday, August 1, it will be the middle of August before the Loons play a competitive home match.

The first visitors to Station Park on league business, on Saturday, August 15, will be another relegated side, Stranraer, with the opening derby match of the new campaign, away to Montrose, pencilled in for the following weekend.

The Christmas period has worked out quite kindly for the Loons, with only a first footing trip to Montrose to fit round the festive celebrations, the other fixtures at that time of year at home to Berwick Rangers on Saturday, December 19, and against Queen's Park on Boxing Day.
