Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed his starting eleven to face Livingston this afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.
With the Glasgow Derby a week away, the Hoops will aim to enter next week’s crucial fixture on the back of an impressive win against David Martindale’s side.
Livingston away from home has proven difficult over the years for Celtic, but in recent games, the Bhoys appear to have turned a corner in West Lothian.
Rodgers has made two changes to the side that beat St. Johnstone 3-1 just over a fortnight ago, with Reo Hatate and Liam Scales both returning from injury to join the starting 11.

Scales, who suffered an injury in training ahead of the St. Johnstone game, also missed out on Ireland’s recent friendlies during the international break.
Hatate has been out injured since January when he picked up a calf injury in the Asian Cup, which ruled him out for two months.
It’s been a stop-start season for the Celtic midfielder, with injuries plaguing him for the majority of the season.
But Rodgers will be hopeful that today is the beginning of a strong end to the season for Hatate.
The game kicks off at 12pm at Almondvale Stadium and is live on Sky Sports.
