Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic will face Livingston in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon.

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

Brendan Rodgers’s side will head into the match against Livingston on the back of a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Europa League.

The Hoops have recovered their form in domestic football and are looking something like their best once again.

Despite being the visiting team, Celtic are overwhelming favourites to get the better of Livingston.

This is how Celtic will line up for their Scottish Premiership game against Livingston this afternoon:

Meanwhile, Frank McAvennie has suggested that Callum McGregor is not the ideal Scott Brown replacement for Celtic.

McGregor has been playing well for Celtic in the absence of Brown, who is injured at the moment.

The former Scotland international is one of the best combative midfielders in Scotland and remains a key figure in the current Bhoys’ team.

Former Celtic striker McAvennie does not think that 25-year-old central midfielder McGregor does enough defensive work.

McAvennie told Open Goal about McGregor: “He’s not a Scott Brown, that’s for sure. McGregor is great going forward, but he couldn’t tackle for supper. He is one of them.”
