Celtic face having yet another game in hand over title rivals Rangers in the New Year after their January away day to St Mirren was put back by almost a month.

Neil Lennon 's Hoops were scheduled to make the journey to Paisley on Sunday, January 24. But after the Buddies shocked Steven Gerrard's Light Blues in the Betfred Cup, their semi-final clash against Livingston now falls on the same weekend.That has caused the league game to be put back until Wednesday, February 10.The match will now kick off at 8pm and it will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

It only adds to the mounting number of unplayed fixtures Celtic have compared to the league leaders across the city, with Rangers enjoying a 16-point lead as a result of the current three games.
