The Parkhead men can go 20 points ahead of Rangers with victory over Dunfermline on Wednesday night, and the SPL and Strathclyde Police harbour fears that the title could be clinched by the Hoops against Rangers in Govan on March 25.
Since the Light Blues won the league in an ill-tempered match at Celtic Park in 1999 there have been attempts to try to ensure the Old Firm fixture does not decide the destination of the title, but that was scuppered last week when Rangers were deducted 10 points for going into administration.
Asked about the possibility of winning the title at the home of their bitter rivals next month, the Celtic boss said: "That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
"Again, we are not getting ahead of ourselves. We can drop points along the way, Rangers can drop points along the way... I don't know.
"But if that's where we are on the 25th of March we will approach the game and try to win it.
"It's not up to me to make that decision (to move the fixture) but I don't see the reason why the fixture should be changed.
"It's just the way the season has progressed and maybe coincidental that it could be an opportunity for us to win the title there.
"I wouldn't be overly pleased if they started changing fixtures for the sake of it.
"But I would much rather win it here at Celtic Park in front of our own supporters."
