Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to take on Livingston in the re-arranged Scottish Premiership match at Celtic Park this evening. The match was originally scheduled for September but was postponed due to the death of the Queen.
After almost five weeks since the last competitive match, Celtic returned to league duties at Aberdeen on Saturday with Callum McGregor finishing off a dominant performance with the only goal of the match to restore Celtic’s nine points lead at the top of the league, looking down on theRangers.

That is exactly the same task facing Postecoglou’s players this evening in a match where Liel Abada stats and Daizen Maeda drops to the bench.
Joe Hart; Anthony Ralston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt, Greg Taylor; Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley, Reo Hatate; Liel Abada, Kyogo and Jota.
On the bench: Ben Siegrist, Moritz Jenz, Alexandro Bernabei, Aaron Mooy, David Turnbull, James Forrest, Sead Hakšabanović, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda.
Ange Postecoglou will of course look to his bench throughout the course of the match with a triple substitution expected around the hour mark. It’s a brilliant tactic by the Celtic boss and one that has worked well in just about every game.

The match kicks off at 7.45pm and there will be a sell-out crowd inside Paradise ready to make some noise for the Bhoys and make sure we’re nine points clear later this evening.
