Most Celtic supporters will be forced to pull an all-nighter if they want to see the team face Everton live later this month.

Ange Postecoglou will take his side back to Australia for the Sydney Super Cup in the second half of November.

The Hoops are due to face Sydney FC at the new Allianz Stadium on Thursday 17 November, with the game against Everton taking place at the Accor Stadium on Sunday 20 November.

That means that Celtic fans based in Scotland and Ireland will be watching kick-off at 03:45, meaning sleep may be hard to come by.

The Sydney Super Cup should be a fun spectacle, with Postecoglou as well as Harry Kewell going home to a large ovation.

The fixtures should act as a bit of glamour at the end of a brilliant year to be a Celtic fan, and send everyone into the World Cup in fine fettle.

And the novelty of getting up in the middle of the night to watch Celtic should be pretty cool too.

The Aussie contingent do it most weeks when we’re playing in Scotland.
