The original fixture had been scheduled for July but was postponed to allow Neil Lennon’s side to play in the Dublin Super Cup.
Prior to the Dunfermline match Celtic will travel to Inverness Caley Thistle on November 19 and host St Mirren the Saturday after- November 26.
Playing the match at the first available date should prevent a repeat of the controversial 2007/2008 campaign when the league season was extended to accommodate Rangers fixture congestion.
