Livingston will trade tackles with Celtic at the Tony Macaroni Arena on matchday six of the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Dundee United last weekend.
Celtic suffered a harrowing 4-3 defeat in a thrilling encounter away Real Betis in the Europa League on Thursday. The Bhoys had gone into a two-goal lead after 27 minutes but conspired to lose the seven-goal thriller.
Before that, they secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Ross County in the league that helped them into fifth place in the table with nine points from five matches. Livingston sit at the bottom of the standings and have just one point to show for their efforts.
