The second-half of Celtic’s season looks set to be a cracker. The first half of the campaign was very tight and with Rangers looking good, it’s only going to get more tense.
On the topic of Rangers, an announcement was recently made regarding our next clash with them, and it’s not gone down well with the Celtic faithful.

Of course, this decision has likely been made based on the need for TV scheduling, and unsurprisingly, this has been poorly received amongst the match-going public. It’s not the first time that it’s happened, and it certainly won’t be the last – and it’s those that head to Celtic Park that feel the impact.
Between fans raising their concern about the match itself to others complaining about the fixture change, it’s fair to say that this news has left fans feeling somewhat frustrated. See below:
Mind let the players know as most of them didn’t turn up last time.

Wow we are scheduled to fly out Sunday morning so we could try and see the match Saturday. Not sure what to do at this point.

Not at all surprised at this, no one should be, I’ll be part of it as usual, no one is forced to attend however.
