SPFL confirm nine Celtic fixture changes amid Europa League schedule

Celtic have had a number of their Scottish Premiership matches officially changed in the upcoming months due to their participation in the Europa League and Sky Sports coverage.

The SPFL has this afternoon confirmed a raft of changes to the domestic schedule for the Hoops, as well as Rangers and Aberdeen given their involvement in the Europa League and Europa Conference League respectively.

Aside from the opening matchday of the Europa League, where Celtic face a trip to Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday, September 24, the rest of their European matches this term will take place on Thursday nights. 

And so, this means there are multiple correlating league fixtures that have to be moved to Sundays.

These include at home to Motherwell, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and Falkirk as well as away trips to Hearts, Hibs and Falkirk.

The away trip to Dundee in October has been moved due to live broadcast coverage on Sky Sports.
