Celtic fixture change revealed after Sky Sports selection

Celtic's away trip to face Livingston has been rescheduled after it was selected for Sky Sports coverage.

The match was due to be played on Saturday, September 23 with a 3pm kick-off at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

However, the fixture will now be played with an earlier kick-off time of 12.30pm.

Sky Sports will broadcast live coverage of the league fixture.

Meanwhile, Celtic have won their battle to keep striker Oh Hyeon-gyu at the club during the Asian Games after South Korea omitted him, despite picking four players from Europe.

South Korea will field an Under 24s team in the Asian Games football tournament in China and it's viewed as a prestigious tournament in the country because their government issues exemptions from mandatory national service if they win the gold medal, although Oh has already completed his stint. 

They have won the last two tournaments.

The Koreans were so desperate to get Oh involved, they sent manager Hwang Seon-hong to Glasgow in May for talks with former boss Ange Postecoglou and Hoops chiefs to try and persuade them to release the striker.

However, the tournament is not on FIFA dates and clubs are under no obligation to have to release any players.

Rescheduled fixture time
