The Old Firm clash which was postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell has been rearranged for January 23rd.

Celtic's home game against Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League had originally been scheduled for January 2nd.

The new date will have to be moved again if either team has a Scottish Cup replay.

Celtic face Stirling Albion in the cup on Saturday, and Rangers take on East Stirlingshire on Sunday.
