Recent respective form guides

Livingston's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Livi have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Celtic's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. These six games have produced a glut of goals, with the The Bhoys scoring 17 and conceding 6.

Livingston find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 12 points. Celtic are leading the way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, with their 30 games giving them a return of 76 points.
