It's been billed as a break for club football but teams certainly aren't going into hibernation during the World Cup.
Celtic are among a host of clubs with a jam-packed schedule during the winter break which sees them head Down Under for the Sydney Super Cup. It's a homecoming for Ange Postecoglou as he takes his Scottish Premiership side back to his homeland for clashes with Sydney FC and Everton. And the manager himself has obligations outwith the match action as he gets set to entertain punters on consecutive evenings and meets his public with a pair of 'Audience with...' events in Sydney and Melbourne.
The players will likely receive a break after the trip to Australia as Postecoglou has stated he will head home to spend time with family and friends in Melbourne. But it won't be an extended break as Celtic are primed for a training camp in Portugal with a friendly with Rennes on December 10 poised to be announce.
