Livingston vs Celtic prediction, preview, team news and more | Scottish Premiership 2021-22 

Livingston will welcome Celtic to the Tony Macaroni Arena for a Scottish Premiership fixture on Sunday.

The hosts will be looking to build on from their 2-1 comeback victory over Dundee United at the same ground on Wednesday. A second-half own goal by Ryan Edwards and Scott Pittman's first-half strike helped them overturn Liam Smith's second-minute goal for the visitors.

Celtic secured a routine 2-0 victory over St. Mirren on home turf on the same day. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum McGregor scored second-half goals to guide the capital side to victory.

The win helped the Bhoys maintain their three-point lead at the summit of the table, while Livingston sit in fourth spot on 37 points.

Livingston vs Celtic Prediction

Livingston have been in impressive form of late and this gives them extra impetus to go all out for victory against Celtic. A win for the hosts would further solidify their European aspirations and would likely prove to be a tough test for the visitors.

Celtic, for their part, might be favorites, but they will take nothing for granted in a game they have to win to stay ahead of arch-rivals Rangers in a gripping title race. Home advantage could see Livingston get on the scoresheet but we are backing the visiting side to secure a narrow victory.

Prediction: Livingston 1-2 Celtic
