The Hoops have one trophy in the cabinet already and will be determined to win the Treble with a Scottish Cup victory hopefully to come to sign off with.

It should be a stellar run-in for Rodgers and his players as they also look to showcase their talents for fans with both the Sky Sports and Premier Sports TV schedules still to broadcast plenty of live action.

And there has already been one change confirmed by a Premiership club where Celts are concerned to accommodate Sky’s calendar.

St Johnstone vs Celtic has been rescheduled for Sky Sports

St Johnstone this week revealed they had been told by the SPFL of a change to their home fixture against the Scottish champions to come in early April.

The initial match was due to take place on April 5 at McDiarmid Park with a 3pm kick-off time.

But now that has been rescheduled for the following day – which will be a Sunday – and will kick-off at 12pm in Perth.

Saints confirmed the news with a short statement via their social media channels as well as their club website.

It read: “Our William Hill Premiership match against Celtic in April has been selected for live TV coverage by Sky Sports.

“The fixture was originally set for Saturday April 5, at 3pm, but the match will now be played on Sunday April 6, with a 12pm kick-off.

“Ticket details for this fixture will be released in due course.”

When could Celtic win Scottish Premiership title?

Celtic’s lead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership could legitimately, mathematically, be insurmountable by then with the title already being closed in on.

Second-place Rangers opted to sack Philippe Clement this week and brought in an interim coaching staff led by Barry Ferguson.

But for Celts, it is all about what is happening at Parkhead and this evening sees the league leaders take on the Dons in Glasgow. Celtic vs Aberdeen will be live on Sky Sports.
