IT’S back to reality for Celtic after their Champions League disappointment in midweek as they visit the artificial surface of Livingston’s Tony Macaroni Arena.
The Almondvale side boast one of the better recent records against the Hoops and David Martindale‘s men will be desperate to add to that tomorrow lunchtime.
They’ve taken points off the Parkhead side no fewer than SEVEN times in the last five seasons – even though Ange Postecoglou‘s men won all three of the meetings last term.
It might not be one for the purists, but the match comes at a time where Celtic are beset by injuries, with new signings still trying to settle into the Scottish game.
