CELTIC are back in Europa League action today as they take on Ferencvaros at Parkhead.
The match is taking place on a Tuesday with the unusual kick-off time of 3:30pm.
Europa League matches usually take place on Thursday's at 5:55pm or 8pm.
But this is why today's match has been resecheduled.
With Rangers also at home in the competition this week, the usual Thursday slot is ruled out and UEFA are insistent that the game does not clash with Champions League fixtures.
The match could also not be moved to next week due to COP26 coming to Glasgow.
Celtic captain Callum McGregor knows the players need to do their bit for the atmosphere during their unusual Tuesday afternoon Europa League clash.
With both sides without a point following two matches and fans making sacrifices to get to the ground, McGregor is well aware of the obligation to deliver a performance.
And if the famous Celtic Park atmosphere for a European encounter is threatened by the early start, McGregor is determined to ensure those fans present get off their seats early on.
“Obviously it’s a little bit different in terms of people trying to get to the stadium so we will appreciate everyone that has made the effort to get there,” the Scotland midfielder said.
“We are hoping for a big atmosphere again and the players need to deliver that as well.
“It doesn’t matter the kick-off time. We are at home in a European tie and we need to bring that energy for the crowd to feed off as well, and I’m sure they will.
“We have been around the game a long time to understand when the fixture is. It just becomes another match day.”
