Prediction: 3-0
Livingston
Celtic will be aiming to bounce back from a heart-breaking 2-0 loss to Hearts when they face Livingston in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Hoops rolled over Dundee FC 7-1 in their last home game and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s showdown as well. South Korea midfielder Hyun-Jun Yang is banned for the match, while Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Lions, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last three league fixtures and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. You should bear in mind that Celtic emerged triumphant in each of the previous six meetings between the two sides. To make things even worse for the away side, both Michael Devlin and Cristian Montano limped off with injuries in a 1-1 draw with St Johnstone at the weekend.
