The short version
- Celtic's Premiership match at Hearts moved from Saturday, Nov. 28 to Sunday, Nov. 29.
- The change follows Sky Sports selecting the fixture for live television coverage.
- Hearts visit Celtic Park on Oct. 17 for the first league meeting between the sides this season.
- Celtic lost once and drew once at Tynecastle last season, and clinched the title on the final day with goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand.
Television selection shifts the Premiership clash at Tynecastle from its original Saturday slot to Sunday, November 29.
Celtic's away Premiership fixture against Hearts will run one day later than planned. Sky Sports chose the match at Tynecastle for live coverage, pushing it from Saturday, November 28 to Sunday, November 29.
The Edinburgh club had been set to host the Glasgow side on the original November date. The broadcaster's latest round of selections triggered the change, which was confirmed on Monday.
Before the trip east, the two clubs meet in league play at Celtic Park on October 17, in what will be the first of their two league encounters this season.
Last term, Celtic failed to win at Tynecastle, following a defeat in the first visit with a draw in the second. That point carried weight, as the teams met again on a final-day showdown that Celtic needed to win in order to claim the title, with goals from Daizen Maeda and Callum Osmand sealing a championship decided in the closing stages in a finish reminiscent of 1986.
