Celtic in fixture switch as St Johnstone clash moved for TV coverage

Celtic's away fixture against St Johnstone in December has been switched with the match selected for television coverage.

The clash was originally set for Saturday December 2 with a  3pm kick-off, but it will now take place on Sunday December 3 with a 12pm start.

Celtic will be looking to get one over on Saints after Steven MacLean's side picked up a point at Parkhead last month.

The fixture will now be shown live on Sky Sports with coverage expected to get underway at 11am.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has admitted his discontent with Celtic’s summer transfer business in the same week the club announced record profits.

The Celtic boss claimed every manager would want more signings, but he made it clear he was not satisfied with what transpired.

Celtic announced a record annual profit of £40.7million on Monday and revealed they had had £72.3m “net of bank borrowings” on June 30 this year, although they have since invested £15million on transfer fees.

The Scottish champions signed nine players this summer, but when asked if he was content with the business, Rodgers said: “No. No, I think if you ask any manager they will always be wanting more, of course.

“But we work with the players that’s here. I’m not saying that in any disrespectful way, I think every manager will tell you they maybe wished they could have done one or two more signings.

“But the window closed, we had the players we had in and I’m a coaching manager, and we will work with the very, very best players at our disposal to make our performance level the best we can possibly be.

“And now we are preparing already for the January window and the summer window.”
