John Hartson backs Ange's Celtic fixture gripe as smirking Rangers hero roasts 'presumptuous' party planning

Celtic hero John Hartson admits Ange Postecoglou is right to feel hard done by that the post fixture list has denied them a home game for the first two rounds.

Postecoglou admitted he was disappointed that Celtic won't play either of their first two pre-split fixtures at home - which leaves his men facing the prospect of winning the league title away at Hearts rather than on home turf before the final derby showdown of the campaign.

Their first home match pre-split won't be until they face St Mirren on May 20 - which could be the first chance for Callum McGregor to parade the Scottish Premiership trophy at Celtic Park.

However, an end of season title party on May 27 at home to Aberdeen appears to be the most likely at this stage - and former Celtic star Hartson reckons the Parkhead side deserved their chance to lift the trophy in Glasgow's east end when the top six split fixture list was announced.
