The festive period is always a busy time for Celtic, with the run of fixtures around this time of year potentially proving crucial in the season.
Ange Postecoglou and his squad are getting set to face that task, with two games to come every week, starting from last Saturday.
Reaching the Premier Sports Cup final on Saturday added to that busy schedule as it was announced this afternoon that Celtic will face yet another fixture, taking the tally to nine matches in the month of December.
With the Hoops set to take on St Mirren in Paisley on the same weekend as the cup final, that game has now been moved to the Wednesday (22nd) night following the Hampden showdown with Hibs.

As mentioned, this period in the season could prove crucial to our campaign ahead in three competitions.
Ange will have to use his squad wisely, in what will likely be a tiring schedule that the squad have to face, with so many games in a short space of time.
If we want to be successful once again this season, though, this is what we have to face.
Hopefully, looking back after the Glasgow Derby fixture in January, we can come away with a very positive spin on our season as we prepare for the second half after the winter break.
