Celtic will look to keep their 100% league record intact as they welcome newly promoted Livingston to Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).
Brendan Rodgers’ side enter the game on the back of a disappointing 0-0 draw with Kairat Almaty in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs this week, with fans’ frustration boiling over during the game due to Celtic’s perceived lack of ambition in the transfer market, and will want to respond as they return to domestic action.
It is much the same for the visiting Livingston, who make the short journey to Glasgow on the back of a 2-0 Premier Sports Cup defeat to Hibs last weekend. David Martindale’s side have enjoyed a strong return to the top flight, having picked up four points from their opening two league fixtures.
