Celtic head into the weekend with their cushion at the top virtually wiped out after successive league defeats.

They're now just two clear of Rangers heading into these games, with Rangers having a game in hand and an Old Firm on the horizon.

Last week's dismal showing against Hearts prompted Brendan Rodgers to apologise to supporters - and even poor Santa felt the brunt of the supporter fury.

They do have one or two players coming back from injury though and they badly, badly need a response.

And they could get it against a Livingston side in a whole host of bother at the bottom of the table.

David Martindale's side didn't offer much at home to Kilmarnock last week despite missing a late penalty.

They did however score their first goal in TWO MONTHS in midweek at Aberdeen, only to throw away that lead in the end.

Celtic aren't quite firing at present and the mood inside Parkhead can have a big bearing on the afternoon.

Though you'd expect they'll be bang up for playing this Livingston side.

Livingston posed Kilmarnock virtually no threat bar a late, missed penalty and they'll be set up to frustrate Celtic - which they might just do.

Returned from injury as part of a half-time triple sub last week and could find himself in from the start here.

They've missed his pace and pressing ability and can be a huge asset now returning and fancy him to make his presence felt.
