Livingston enters this upcoming match fresh off a recent draw in the Premiership, where they shared a 1-1 result with Ross County. During that game, Livingston held 44% of the possession and made 4 attempts on goal, with 2 of them hitting the target. The lone scorer for Livingston in that contest was Bruce Anderson, who found the back of the net in the 72nd minute. In contrast, Ross County managed 13 shots on goal, with 5 of them being on target, and Simon Murray scored for them in the 59th minute.

In their last six outings, David Martindale's Livingston side has managed to hit the target 7 times, but they have conceded a total of 8 goals during that same period.

Looking at their recent history, Livingston has struggled against Celtic, failing to secure a victory in their last 5 league encounters. However, they have shown resilience at home, being unbeaten in their last 7 league matches at their own stadium, although they haven't clinched a win in their last 3 home league games.

On the other hand, Celtic is coming off a defeat in their previous game against Feyenoord in Champions League action. In that match, Celtic held 39% possession and made 8 attempts on goal, with 3 of them being on target. In contrast, Feyenoord managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 of them on target, and goals were scored by Calvin Stengs in the 45th minute and Alireza Jahanbakhsh in the 76th minute.

Celtic's defense has been putting in hard work lately, conceding only 4 goals in their last 6 outings. Their forwards, on the other hand, have been productive, finding the back of the net 11 times during that period.

Reviewing their previous head-to-head encounters dating back to September 19, 2021, Livingston has won 1 of these matches while Celtic has emerged victorious in 4, with 1 match ending in a draw. In total, these games have witnessed 14 goals, with 3 coming from Livingston and 11 from Celtic, resulting in an average of 2.33 goals per game.

In their most recent league meeting on February 1, 2023, Celtic triumphed 3-0 against Livingston. On that day, Celtic dominated possession with 81% and managed 15 shots at goal, with 5 of them hitting the target. The goals were scored by Greg Taylor in the 29th minute, Daizen Maeda in the 33rd minute, and Kyogo Furuhashi in the 45th minute.

The team's total success would be determined by its position in the middle of the standings since it is not eligible to compete in European competition. Livingston is currently in seventh place with six points after five games. In the new championship, the team only suffered one loss. She had three ties and one win in previous games.

Livingston scored five goals and gave up eight in five final games. There is a general consensus that the team won't finish the season in the relegation zone.

The Scottish champion will attempt to bounce back in a battle against a common foe after a catastrophic Champions League match in which it was defeated away to Feyenoord.

Celty holds the solitary lead in the rankings with 13 points after five rounds have been completed. The team tied once and won four times. Celtic scored 11 goals and gave up three in five games.

Given that Livingston obviously falls short of the champion, it appears that the visitors will win again in the sixth round.

English goalkeeper Joe Hart was born on April 19, 1987. After three years at Shrewsbury Town, Hart signed on with the expensive Manchester City in 2006. He returned to Man City (2010) after his loan at Birmingham City came to an end, and he has since been a member of the team that plays at the Etihad Stadium.

At the Euro 2016 finals, Joe Hart received his 63rd cap for England, but he has yet to take home a trophy with the Three Lions at a major competition. On the other side, the goalie, who is 29 years old, won the FA Cup in 2011 and two Premier League championships with Manchester City (2011–2012, 2013–2014).

David Martindale, the manager of Livingston, will be appreciative that his team's availability for selection comes without any injury concerns whatsoever going into this match.

Shamal George, Luiyi de Lucas, Ayo Obileye, Michael Devlin, Jamie Brandon, Andrew Shinnie, Jason Holt, James Penrice, Stephen Kelly, Bruce Anderson, and Joel Nouble are likely to get the game started for Livi Lions in a 3-4-3 configuration.

Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, must deal with a number of unavailable players. The following players cannot be taken into consideration: Liel Abada (thigh muscle rupture), Maik Nawrocki (hamstring injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (hamstring injury), and Stephen Welsh (ankle injury).

The Bhoys are most likely to start Joe Hart, Alistair Johnston, Nathaniel Phillips, Liam Scales, Greg Taylor, David Turnbull, Callum McGregor, Matt O'Riley, Hyun-jun Yang, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Daizen Maeda in a 4-3-3 formation, in our opinion.
