The SPFL have confirmed that a number of Celtic’s fixtures in the coming months will be moved to accommodate League Cup action and TV demands. This means that Celtic will play an incredible 9 times in December.
Celtic’s month begins with a visit to Dingwall, which has been confirmed as a 12pm kick-off on Sunday 1 December. The following weekend, there is a potential visit to Perth to play St Johnstone is penciled in for a 12.15pm kick off on 8 December. Nestled between these away fixtures is the visit of Hamilton Accies to Celtic Park. The trip to Perth, however, is subject to Celtic’s Betfred Cup progress as should the holders overcome Hibs, then this weekend will play host to the final.
On the 12th of the month, a trip to Cluj in the Europa League is followed by Hibs visiting Celtic Park.
Next up, we have the rearranged fixture from 2 November, to accommodate the Hibs semi-final, our visit to Tynecastle has been confirmed for Wednesday 18 December with a 7:45pm kick-off.
The Saturday following that, we have Aberdeen at Celtic Park, then a trip to St Mirren before the Premiership finishes for the winter break, with a Glasgow Derby.
Finally, the fixture at Celtic Park on December 29th versus the Rangers has been confirmed as a 12:30pm kick off.
The change in fixtures means that Celtic will play NINE times in December.

So the year will culminate with a Glasgow Derby and hopefully another memorable Beautiful Sunday, then it’s off to Dubai to re-charge the batteries.
Meanwhile Celtic tweeted today to wish Lewis Morgan a happy birthday – he’s 23 today – and a handful of trolls within our own support decided that it was a good chance to ridicule and criticise one of our own players. That’s if they are even Celtic Supporters.
Happy birthday, @10LewisMorgan! ???????? pic.twitter.com/wjM9579XbA
