Fixture pile-up no problem - Paatelainen

09 December 2010 17:30
Mixu Paatelainen is not worried about the effects of a possible fixture backlog despite Kilmarnock's second Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixture in succession falling foul of the snow and ice currently gripping Scotland. Saturday's clash with Celtic at Parkhead was postponed on Thursday afternoon on the advice of the police and with further bad weather predicted it might not be the last cancellation before Christmas. The Rugby Park boss had his players training at the Toryglen Regional Football Centre in Glasgow all week in preparation for the trip to Celtic Park but now the focus will shift to next week's home clash with Hibernian. "It doesn't cause any problems," the Finn said. "We trained this week and prepared for the match but our sights are now on our next opponents. "Nothing really changes. There are no problems but we do realise we have to play somewhere along the line and possibly midweek. However, we don't mind. We can play two matches a week - the boys are fit enough."
