Celtic had a tough time of it in Spain during the week when they lost 4-3 to Real Betis in the Europa League. In pure Celtic fashion, the Bhoys managed to throw away an early 2 goal lead.
The early two-goal lead would have had most Celtic fans scratching their heads more so than the fact that Celtic went on to lose the game 4-3. Such is the away form of Celts in Europe.
But anyone watching the football under the new manager this season is in agreement that attacking wise Celtic look much improved if only they can shore up the goals at the back
Joe Hart has made some difference to the back four and Carter-Vickers looks like the kind of unit that our defence has been missing for so long. Domestically Celtic have been poor away from home too.
Ange will need to put that right today with a visit to the Tony Macaroni Arena against Livingston. Celtic will take 7000 away supporters to the game for the first time in over 564 days after a worldwide pandemic.
Postecoglou will enjoy the fact that Celtic captain Callum McGregor and Liel Abada are back in contention today for the SPFL clash. With the teams just released this is how Celtic will line up today:

We were so sure how this team would look today but nobody and I mean nobody had any idea that Bolingoli would get a start today. For many reasons fans were not sure if they would see him in a Celtic shirt again but all eyes will be on him today.
There are so many talking points from this team sheet but most worryingly is that Cal Mac is nowhere to be seen still. Welsh comes in for Starfelt. James McCarthy comes in for his first start. Abada comes back into the team after missing the trip to Spain for religious reasons.
The kick-off is at 3 pm unfortunately this game is only available on a £20 PPV stream through Livingston.
