The Hoops return to the domestic scene against David Martindale's side.
Dutch courage was shown with nine men on the biggest stage but Brendan Rodgers knows the bread and butter holds the same amount of Celtic importance.
A 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord was compounded by going down to 9-men midweek and they'll look to take out their Champions League defeat frustration on David Martindale's Livingston team. The Lions have been a bogey team in the past for the champions and Rodgers has already spoken of the difficulty that their plastic pitch in West Lothian adds, but that won't be an excuse that washes if points are dropped.
Both Neil Lennon and Ange Postecoglou have dropped points at this venue since Rodgers departed in 2019 so he'll be aware of the pitfalls. He faces an injury sweat on Nat Phillips who missed the Feyenoord game after rolling his ankle against Dundee last Saturday, but whether his boss risks him on a plastic surface remains to be seen.
An energy-sapping shift in Europe could also open the door to some new boys to get their shot at a starting spot, with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Liel Abada all out. Mikey Johnston and Marco Tilio meanwhile have been back in training after their respective injuries. Here is the Celtic squad and their predicted XI.Greg TaylorAlistair JohnstonPaulo Bernardo
