Celtic will be looking to maintain their good run of form this afternoon when they take on Livingston away from home in the Scottish Premiership.

Neil Lennon’s side will head into the game against Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena on the back of a 2-0 victory over CFR Cluj at Celtic Park in Europa League Group E.

The Hoops are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 19 points from seven matches, just a point clear of second-placed and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers.

Meanwhile, Livingston currently find themselves seventh in the league table with eight points from seven matches.

This is how Celtic will line up against Livingston in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon:

Meanwhile, Celtic manager Lennon has spoken highly of Southampton-owned Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Elyounoussi, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, joined the Hoops on loan from Premier League club Southampton in the summer transfer widow.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon arrives ahead of the Scottish Premier League match between Hibernian and Celtic at Easter Road on 28 September, 2019 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The 25-year-old Norway international has been playing well for the Glasgow giants so far this season.

Lennon told The Scottish Sun: “I like Mo because he has a bit of guile and intelligence. I thought on Thursday you could see his pedigree.

“He’s got that experience of his time at Basel, where he was outstanding. He’s different, he’s not a dynamic one, going outside and crossing, but he’s quick with the ball.”
