Livingston v Celtic

Celtic's title defence is arguably at the most vulnerable it has been since we last saw Rangers in the SPL in 2012, and it's not because of their return to the top flight (well not solely anyway).

Livingston welcome the Bhoys this Sunday and they are a massive 16/1 to win the match. Of course, that's not an outcome we can reasonably expect, but they may very well make things more difficult for Brendan Rogers side than many Celtic fans may be hoping.

In nine home matches this season, the hosts have won six and drawn another, and they have conceded just three times in those matches. That gives them a very real opportunity to do a job on Celtic as they look to park the bus as effectively as possible.

Of course, Celtic have scored 14 goals in their last three away games (at Dundee, Hearts and St Johnstone), but we could alternatively point to their failures at St Mirren (0-0), St Johnstone in the cup (winning 1-0) and at Hearts (losing 1-0)

This game could do one of two ways, but I'm most inclined to lean the way of Livingston here. Over the duration of the season so far, seven of their nine home games have gone "under 2.5 goals", while it is 12 out of 16 in all games. They've also kept nine clean sheets.

Celtic are reporting that Felip Benkovic, Leigh Griffiths, Scott Brown and Oliver Ntcham will all miss the game, which cannot help their chances in this one.
