The SPFL has confirmed a series of domestic fixture changes for Celtic across the autumn and winter months, reflecting Europa League commitments and Sky Sports coverage.
Celtic have had nine Scottish Premiership fixtures rescheduled by the SPFL because of their Europa League participation and television selections. Celtic face Red Star Belgrade away on Wednesday, September 24, in their opening Europa League matchday. Their remaining European matches are scheduled for Thursday nights, leading to several corresponding league fixtures being moved to Sundays.
