Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic side for this evening’s Scottish Premiership clash with Livingston. Marvin Bartley’s team sit on the foot of the table and will look to frustrate Celtic.
Legendary Celtic boss O’Neill has made a number of changes from the team that narrowly beat Dundee in the Scottish Cup Fifth Round.
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goals.
A back four of Julian Araujo, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Marcelo Saracchi starts. The Uruguayan comes into the team at the expense of Kieran Tierney, who took a few knocks at the weekend.
Callum McGregor starts in the midfield with Arne Engels and Benji Nygren.
In attack, Tomas Čvančara starts through the middle with Seb Tounekti and Daizen Maeda on the flanks.
Subs: Sinisalo, Adamu, McGowan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hatate, Arthur, Forrest, Donovan & Tierney.
Celtic fans will be excited by the inclusion of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the bench as they look to see the ex-Liverpool star make his debut for the Scottish Champions.

Boss starting with a strong side and looking to see contributions from the subs.
No issues with the back 4 and midfield.
Nygren seems to contribute more chances and goals when he starts, and maybe this is also a game for Daizen to remind us why he can be remembered with green tinted glasses when he leaves. Home game and some opportunities to press and dominate up high.
Tounetki needs to build on the last performance and nail down that starting consistency.
