Celtic starting XI to face Livingston at Celtic Park

Celtic are back at Paradise this afternoon for the visit of Livingston, as Brendan Rodgers’ men look to continue their perfect start to the domestic season. The Hoops come in to today’s match after a 0-0 draw on Wednesday night against FC Kairat at Celtic Park, a result which leaves the tie wide open going in to the second leg next week in Kazakhstan. With that huge play-off match just around the corner, and with injuries to Adam Idah, Alistair Johnston and Auston Trusty, Brendan Rodgers has named a number of changes to his starting XI for today’s match. Hayato Inamura and Dane Murray start in defence, whilst Luke McCowan, Arne Engels and Paulo Bernardo make up the central midfield. Benjamin Nygren and Yang start today’s match in the wide positions with Shin Yamada leading the line for the Hoops. Kick-off at Celtic Park is at 3pm and you can follow all the action live on our Official Match Centre.
