Traditionally, champions kick off the new season with a game on Saturday at noon. This move to a Sunday game alters this culture and poses significant disruption for fans.
Celtic has informed their supporters that Sunday rail services by Scotrail are limited, which could significantly affect fan travel plans. The club advised fans to check their travel arrangements in advance to avoid potential disruptions. Moreover, the early closure of the subway service at 6 PM will further complicate post-match travel, potentially stranding fans who rely on this mode of transportation.

Celtic will play on a Saturday until mid-September, and will face a series of Sunday matches between now and then. It will be the fifth matchday when Celtic fans take their seats for Saturday’s match at 15:00.
