The beaten Scottish League Cup finalists take on the runaway Scottish Premier League leaders when Livingston host Rangers on Wednesday night.
In what was one of the biggest days in their history, Livingston fell just short against St. Johnstone at Hampden Park on Sunday. They went down 1-0, with Shaun Rooney scoring the only goal of the game.
Livingston are also having a commendable season in the league. They currently sit in fifth position, with 40 points from 29 games. They have two games in hand over fourth-placed Aberdeen, but are eight points behind the Dons.
Rangers, on the other hand, need just seven more points to mathematically wrap up the title and end Celtic's nine-year reign as Scottish champions.
This fixture was scheduled for the weekend, but had to be postponed because of the League Cup final.
Steven Gerrard's side have had just about a week's rest since they played their Europa League round of 32 second leg against Royal Antwerp. The Scottish side won that match 5-2, securing progression to the next round 9-5 on aggregate.
