celtic's game at rugby park postponed

Newsroom Staff
CELTIC'S game against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Wednesday, December 30 has been postponed. The decision was taken due to adverse conditions around the ground.

Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “"Clearly, we are extremely disappointed that the match has been postponed.

“We have been told that the pitch is perfectly playable, but we have also been informed that the match cannot proceed due to the stadium footprint (area surrounding the stadium) not being cleared - Naturally this is very frustrating for the club and its supporters.

“As is always the case, it is the responsibility of home clubs to ensure that their own footprint or locality is safe and obviously in this case, this has not been achieved.”

No date has yet been set for the re-arranged SPL fixture. More details to follow in due course on the official Celtic website.
