Rescheduled SPL fixtures announced

THE SPL has announced new dates for the two Clydesdale Bank Premier League games postponed due to next month’s Scottish Communities League Cup final between Celtic and Kilmarnock.

The Hampden showpiece takes place on Sunday 18 March and Celtic had been due to face Dunfermline Athletic in a league match the previous day. That game has now been rescheduled for Wednesday, 22 February (7:45pm).

Kilmarnock, meanwhile, were supposed to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 17 March. The match will now take place on Saturday 10 March at 3pm. The clubs had a free date that weekend because both were eliminated from the Scottish Cup which stages its sixth round on 10-11 March.

The SPL also announced that the St Johnstone v Inverness fixture that was called off in January has been rescheduled for Wednesday 28 March (7:45pm).
