“Hopefully by the time that game comes around, we’ll have a few more wins, and the squad will be a lot more settled and a bit stronger than it is at the minute because it will need to be to wrestle with a team like Celtic.”
The match will take place on the weekend of September 12-13, a week before the Old Firm clash in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park.
