CELTIC will play Falkirk away in a rearranged Premier fixture on Wednesday January 14.
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday December 14, but has had to be switched because the Hoops are now due to take on St Mirren in the Premier Sports League Cup Final at Hampden on the same day.
The third meeting of the season of the teams next year will be shown live on Premier Sports with a 7.45pm kick-off.
The champions have won the previous two head-to-heads with an 8-1 aggregate score over John McGlynn’s outfit.
A BAIRN WINNER…Johnny Kenny races away in delight after scoring the first of his double in Celtic’s 4-0 win over Falkirk at Parkhead a fortnight ago.
Former Celtic keeper Scott Bain has been beaten four times on both occasions with Daizen Maeda, Alistair Johnston, Dane Murray and Liam Henderson (og) on target in the 4-1 win in the League Cup at Parkhead in August.
And it was an identical story for the shotstopper, who has been called into Steve Clarke’s World Cup squad for the games against Greece on Saturday and Denmark on Tuesday, in Martin O’Neill’s return at the same venue a fortnight ago.
On this occasion, Johnny Kenny claimed a first-half double with additional strikes from Benjamin Nygren and Sebastian Tounekti after the interval in a 4-0 Premiership success.
