6 Rangers and Celtic TV fixtures switched as Premiership grudge match nabs Monday Night Football Sky slot

The controversial Scottish Premiership clash between Celtic and Hibs has been pencilled in for a Monday night showdown live on Sky Sports.

Outgoing Easter Road chief Leeann Dempster let rip at the SPFL for moving the fixture that allows the current champions to fit in a short winter training break.

And with no Premier League Monday Night Football to speak of that evening, all eyes will be on Celtic Park.

It's one of six fixtures that have been moved next month and Scottish fans are set for an explosive start to 2021 with Aberdeen vs Rangers also set for the TV cameras in the Granite City.

Celtic 's trips to take on Livingston and St Mirren will also be televised as Hoops supporters hope they will be on the up in the wake of their visit to Ibrox on January 2.

The latest batch of TV fixture releases concludes with a cracker from the capital as Hibs take on Steven Gerrard's league leaders.

The pair thrilled earlier this season during a 2-2 draw and hopes are high they can do so again.

Here's a full list of the fixtures.
