Celtic travel to Almondvale Stadium to face Livingston in a Scottish Premiership game that could shape the title race from here onwards. The Bhoys trail Hearts by six points but have a game in hand. Another slip-up will only put their rivals in a firm position to win the league, especially if Hearts beat Hibernian on Saturday. Check out our match prediction below.
The 2nd-placed Celtic are undoubtedly the second-best team this season, with the second-most wins (11), second-highest goals (29), and the joint fewest goals conceded (14). However, their recent performances threaten their chances of winning back-to-back league titles. Before their recent 3-1 win over the 10-man Aberdeen, The Bhoys lost four straight games.
St Mirren knocked Celtic out of the Scottish League cup with a 3-1 victory, while Roma’s 3-0 thrashing sees Celtic’s Europa League knockout qualification hopes hanging by a thread. However, it’s the back-to-back losses to Hearts (2-1) and Dundee United (2-1) in the Scottish Premiership that sting the most.
Last placed Livingston, who are still winless in their last 15 games, provide Celtic the perfect opportunity for three crucial points that keep the pressure on Hearts. Interestingly, it was Celtic that kicked off The Lions' 15-game winless run with a 3-0 win, which Livingston has now capped with yet another loss to St Mirren (1-0).
