Both Livingston and Celtic find themselves in the top half of the league table heading into this weekend's fixtures. Livi find themselves creeping into the top six of the Scottish Premiership table, thanks to their first draw of the league campaign. While they were minutes away from their first-ever victory at Ibrox, and they'll be disappointed to lose two points, that point in Govan could prove pivotal. Particularly if it cements a top-six finish, which has evaded the Lions for the last few seasons. As for Celtic, they crashed out of three UEFA club competitions last season and find themselves with no European football after Christmas once again. All eyes therefore turn to the domestic scene, where they're aiming to go one better than last campaign and win all three Scottish trophies on offer. Rangers host Aberdeen on Saturday, where they could go a point behind the Hoops. The Tony Macaroni was one of three grounds where Celtic lost a Scottish Premiership match last season. But with all eyes on the domestic campaign, they should find a way to win in West Lothian. 1:2

David Martindale made two changes to the Livingston team that clinched a 1-0 victory against St Johnstone in West Lothian, before they lost a last-gasp lead to draw 1-1 with Rangers at Ibrox last Saturday. Dylan Bahamboula was the matchwinner against Saints at the Tony Macaroni Arena, but made way for a centre-back as Jack Fitzwater returned to the Lions' defence. Sean Kelly moved into midfield to accommodate him. Kurtis Guthrie was also sat on the bench, for Andrew Shinnie to support goalscorer Joel Nouble in attack. It was the Englishman's third goal of the Scottish Premiership season, two of which have come against Rangers. Ange Postecoglou named five changes to the Celtic side that won a topsy-turvy clash with Hearts at Tynecastle 4-3, before crashing out of the Champions League courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in Glasgow on Tuesday night. Greg Taylor, whose goal proved decisive in Edinburgh, replaced Alexandro Bernabei. Josip Juranovic came in Anthony Ralston at right-back. Sead Haksabanovic replaced Aaron Mooy at the tip of the midfield trio. Liel Abada replaced James Forrest on the right hand-side, with Kyogo Furuhashi replacing his compatriot Daizen Maeda on the left. Giorgos Giakoumakis continued in attack to give the Hoops the lead but it was ultimately to no avail on the night.
