Celtic will be busy over the festive period, with six fixtures scheduled between 3rd and 30th December. That run includes away trips to Falkirk, Livingston, and Motherwell, alongside home matches against Dundee and Aberdeen. With squad rotation likely, this stretch could prove decisive in the title race.
Newly promoted Falkirk return to the top flight and will visit Celtic Park on 29th October. The Bairns host Celtic for the reverse fixture on 13th December. Rodgers’ side will also face Dundee United twice before the end of January.
The final run of matches before the league split sees Celtic away to Dundee on 4th April before wrapping up their pre-split campaign at home to St Mirren on 11th April. By that point, the table should be taking shape, and Celtic will be hoping to be leading once again.
With European qualifiers and cup competitions yet to be scheduled, fixture congestion could be a factor, but the league dates are now set. Celtic’s path to potentially yet another title has been laid out, and it starts at Celtic Park in just six weeks’ time.
