The SPFL have accepted a 'club request' to reschedule the match from the original Saturday afternoon date on January 9 and play the game on the Monday night.

The Premiership match at Celtic Park will therefore take place on January 11 and kick off at 7.45pm.

It will be Hibs' second game of 2021 - Jack Ross' side opens the new year with a home match against Livingston on January 2.
