SKY SPORTS have today confirmed the tie against St Johnstone which was previously scheduled for Friday, October 2nd will now take place noon on Sunday, October 4th due to the club’s participation in the Europa League playoffs.
Celtic booked their place in the playoff by defeating Riga 1-0 in Latvia on Thursday night to set up a winner takes all scenario next week against Sarajevo.
It means the bhoys will be playing on Thursday and the Saturday game has to be ruled out as a result.
FIXTURE UPDATE
Due to Celtic's involvement in the UEL Play-offs, the match against St. Johnstone has been moved to Sunday 4th October.

The games are coming thick and fast now and there will be no winter break to take a breath. We have one postponed game still outstanding against Aberdeen as well as a Scottish cup semi-final from last season to play out against the Dons. If we made the final of that competition it would mean more SPFL games being postponed.
It’s a precarious situation, to say the least.
