Celtic face Livingston this afternoon in the Scottish Cup Quarter Final. The holders have beaten Buckie Thistle and St Mirren to reach this stage and will be hoping to dispose of the visitors from West Lothian.

Brendan Rodgers will have to pick a team that doesn’t include skipper Callum McGregor, Maik Nawrocki, Reo Hatate and Luis Palma, all of whom are missing through injury. The manager will likely name a team similar to the XI that started at Tynecastle last weekend.

In goals, Joe Hart will start.

Expect a back four of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor.

In midfield, it will likely be the same trio that started against Hearts – Paulo Bernardo, Matt O’Riley and Tomoki Iwata. There is also an argument that Odin Thiago Holm could start.

In attack, expect Adam Idah will likely start through the middle with Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda on the left. The manager could also use James Forrest, Rocco Vata or even Kyogo in the wide areas.

Predicted XI: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; Iwata, Bernardo, O’Riley; Maeda, Idah, Kuhn.
