Celtic fans learn unusual kick-off time as Everton friendly leads to Hoops all-nighter scenario

Celtic fans are set to wake up in the middle of the night if they're willing to watch their side in action against Everton.

The World Cup break is on the horizon but manager Ange Postecoglou's never stop mantra will kick into full gear, as they jet out to his native Australia for the Sydney Super Cup. Their headline match is a meeting with Frank Lampard's Premier League team but the kick-off time has been moved to a local time of 2:45pm on Sunday November 20th.

That's 3:45am back in Scotland as supporters are either tasked with pulling a late shift through the night or hitting their beds early to get up for Celtic's latest match. A statement on the tournament reads: "Ange Postecoglou will take his Celtic side out to Australia later this month to take part in the Sydney Super Cup.

"And there’s a mouth-watering clash in prospect for the Scottish champions when they take on Frank Lampard’s Everton side in Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Sunday, November 20.

"The kick-off time for this game has been moved to an earlier local time of 2.45pm (3.45am Celtic Park time). The game against Everton sees the return of the Celtic manager to the venue of one of his most famous coaching wins, when Australia won the AFC Asian Cup in 2015.

"And the match between two of the most famous names in football will be part of a blockbuster three-match series that will also see Celtic take on Sydney FC on November 17 at the newly-opened Allianz Stadium."
