CELTIC will play their delayed Premiership game against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday September 9 with an 8pm kick-off.
The original game against the newly-promoted Perth club was postponed to allow the Hoops time to prepare for the ill-fated Champions League play-offs against Austria’s LASK.
The meeting between the clubs – the first time Martin O’Neill has pitted his wits against Simo Valakari – is scheduled just four days before the Parkhead side’s Premier Sports League Cup quarter-final against Derek McInnes’ strugglers at Ibrox.
HAT-TRICK HERO…Kasper Hogh celebrates his first goals for Celtic in the 5-1 romp against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
The champions have already won their first two games in their bid for a sixth successive title.
A solitary goal from Benjamin Nygren claimed the points in the triumph over Steven Pressley’s Dundee in the east end of Glasgow in the season’s opener on August 3.
And Kasper Hogh, the club’s record £11million signing, took centre stage with a first-half hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
Celtic continue their silverware quest against Falkirk at Parkhead tomorrow afternoon.
