Celtic v Hibs in January moved back 2 days without a Hibs agreement, Hibs not happy

They can play hibs Monday and a game in hand on the Thursday. Leicester are currently playing Fulham and play euroa league game on Thursday. So moving th game to the Monday shouldn’t rule out a Thursday night game.
 
Surely even the corrupt SPFL have to give a reason to move fixtures?
Yes

Then they have move their next game - Livingston home to the Sunday if they wanted to do that

11th Jan Hibs
14th Jan
17th Jan Livingston
 
They are planning on a massive covid outbreak before the game with us meaning it will be postponed and they will all be out of isolation for the new hibs date

I know I'm taking the piss, but they are up to something
 
Maybe it’s so all his friends in dressing room can attend Lennon’s leaving party after we turn them over in the NY game.
 
Think our biggest concern should be once again how much control one team seems to have at the spfl. Sure this isn’t a massive issue but say the league had to be stopped and we were ahead. There is 0 chance leagues are getting handed out this time . None and anyone that thinks it would be is IMO deluded it would be voided so they can go for their tainted ten again next season and pretend it’s still a thing
Thing is though a precedent has been set so they would be taken to court.

It wouldn’t matter if it was less than 29 games. That’s the point we need to get for the precedent. Anything less and they could say not enough games been played and if the clubs vote for void there’s nothing a court could do
 
Why does it have to move if Celtic want it? The SPFL should have said no, simple as that.

Why are Hibs being treated like 2nd class citizens here?

Hibs actually have more of a right to demand the game is played on the day that the SPFL arranged.

Something strange going on here, and no doubt time will tell us why this bending of the rules has happened.
 
What's the angle here ?
If true they are planning a training camp in Dubai - nothing wrong with that

But in doing so asked Hibs to move the game back to the 11th Hibs said no but the SPFL/Celtic have moved it regardless to allow them an extra couple of days in Dubai
 
Wondering if the agreement was made behind Dempster's back.

They will be up to something - they are scheming scum. The truth will come out at some point.

At the end of the day it is all about Rangers and what we do - keep our focus and we are unstoppable.
 
Proves yet again Dungcaster does what Lieswell tells him to do

Hibs have not agreed to the change but Dungcaster just agrees to it

Sums up the stranglehold Lieswell has in our league

Just hope we can keep winning and what they do means nothing
 
Rules out the following midweek for one of their games in hand

Following a club request, January's Scottish Premiership between Celtic and Hibernian has been rescheduled

The game at Celtic Park was due to be played on Saturday January 9 but will now take place two days later:

Monday January 11, 2021
Scottish Premiership
Celtic v Hibernian
Kick-off 7.45pm
Wonder when this idea was first nominated to spfl & Hibs ?
 
I think it's obvious. The Tims need to get their postponed games played at some point. They have decided that they would like to play one of them on the Thursday, Jan 7th, after the OF game and then give their squad an extra couple of days to recover before playing the Hibs game.

Edit: Assuming that we get to the League Cup semi, our league game against Ross County will be moved. We should ask for the same thing as the Tims, to have our league game against Aberdeen to be moved on the Monday and we'll play Ross County on the Thursday.
 
So you now have Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs who have all called the football authorities out as being incompetent in the last few months.

Hope we are still working on the background to get them removed

Lawwell’s back on the SPFL Board with his cronies.

Gangsterism.
