Celtic’s home Premiership match against Motherwell has been moved due to the Fir Park side’s Europa League tie.

The sides were due to meet at Celtic Park on Saturday 29 August.

But the game will now be played the following day to give Motherwell an extra 24 hours to recover from their Europa League first qualifying round tie.

The Fir Park side have been drawn at home against either Glentoran of Northern Ireland or HB Torshavn of the Faroe Islands, with the match scheduled for Thursday 27 August.

The Sunday game between Celtic and Motherwell will kick off at 3pm.
