Celtic vs Livingston – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Celtic host Livingston in the Scottish Premiership tonight aiming to get their title defence back on track.

The champions are third in the standings ahead of tonight’s game, nine points behind leaders Hearts, with two games in hand. A turbulent campaign has seen Celtic have three different managers, with the veteran Martin O’Neill now back for his second caretaker spell of the campaign.

Nothing but maximum points will do this evening, against a Livingston side rooted to the bottom. The visitors have just one win in 25 league games.

Celtic team news

The Scottish champions remain without a clutch of key figures, and Kieran Tierney joined the injury concerns during the Scottish Cup win over Dundee. The left-back sustained a head injury and will miss out tonight.

He joins fellow defenders Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers in the treatment room, while Callum Osman and Jota are also ruled out. Junior Adamu is pushing for a start after his last-gasp winner on debut against Dundee.

Fellow recruit Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be involved after joining as a free agent. The 32-year-old has been maintaining his fitness training with Arsenal since leaving Besiktas in August.

Elsewhere, Kasper Schmeichel should return in goal after sitting out that Scottish Cup win.

Celtic predicted lineup

Celtic predicted XI: Schmeichel; Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Saracchi; Hatate, McGregor; Hyun-Jun, Nygren, Tounekti; Adamu.

What time is kick-off?

Celtic vs Livingston will kick off at Celtic Park at 19:45 GMT.
