WILFRIED NANCY will be introduced to Livingston’s notorious plastic pitch when he takes his Celtic team to West Lothian this afternoon.
The Frenchman, of course, will be acquainted with artificial playing surfaces following his four years in the MLS with CF Montreal and Columbus Crew, but he might find Livi’s pitch a bit different from anything he has experienced before.
This is the champions’ second meeting of the season against David Martindale’s outfit after winning 3-0 at Parkhead in August following a double from Benjamin Nygren and another from Johnny Kenny.
How much can you remember about past associations with the West Lothian club? Have a go on CQN’s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Good luck!
