Reigning William Hill Premiership champions Celtic begin their defence of the title when Dundee head for Glasgow.
Martin O’Neill’s men return to action at Celtic Park a little less than three months after clinching their latest crown in a dramatic final-day showdown with Hearts.
Elsewhere, the West Indies go head to head with Pakistan in the second Test in Port of Spain, and there is Hundred action from Cardiff as Welsh Fire and Southern Brave meet in both the women’s and men’s competitions.
Here’s what is happening in the sporting world on Monday – and where you can catch the action in the UK.
The Bhoys are back in town
Celtic will attempt to strike an early blow in their Old Firm rivalry with Rangers when they entertain Dundee in their opening fixture of the new Premiership campaign.
The men from Ibrox could only draw 1-1 at Dundee United on Friday evening and O’Neill’s side will have a chance to establish a two-point advantage during the season’s first weekend.
Dundee proved something of a thorn in Celtic’s side last season, winning the first league clash between the sides 2-0 at Dens Park in October before going down 1-0 in Glasgow in December and 2-1 at home in April either side of a 2-1 Scottish FA Cup defeat in which they led 1-0 heading into the last minute of normal time.
All the action is on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event from 6.30pm.
