Celtic, Rangers & Aberdeen fixture changes confirmed by SPFL

The SPFL has confirmed a raft of Premiership fixture changes.

A number of top-flight matches in Scotland have been changed due to European matches played on Thursdays.

Sky Sports have also selected their latest round of games for live TV coverage. The broadcasters have picked six matches between September and the beginning of December.

Celtic's trip to Ross County on November 4 will be postponed should the Staggies reach the Viaplay Cup semi-finals.

The matches on December 17 are also subject to the Viaplay Cup final.

Meanwhile, Scottish football's leading bodies have joined forces to express their concerns over proposed new rules for supporters travelling to matches on buses.

In a statement released this evening, the Scottish FA, SPFL and SWPL say they are not pleased by the 'targeted nature of the proposals', and that they only aim to 'demonise football fans'.

A public consultation has been launched over a series of new guidelines that would govern travel within the football society. It was brought forward by Richard Turfitt, the Senior Traffic Commissioner for Great Britain on the UK Government.

This sparked an immediate condemnation from supporters' groups.
