You thought St Mirren were a hard watch? Livingston won three and drew three of their last six games but did not manage the majority of possession in any of those outings. Incredibly, they beat Dundee (by four goals), Dundee United and Aberdeen with an average of 39% possession.
If they dug in against the team at the bottom of the league, they will only leave their defensive third to have a shot on goal against the league leaders on Sunday (expect them to shoot on sight).
There will be no surprises. High crosses into the box will be successfully defended. There will be no space in front of goal, marking will be skintight, the defensive line will be straight. The pitch will be terrible, passing and control will be difficult – if you have a ticket, please be forgiving.
If you needed a reason to be concerned more than Celtic’s historical results against Livi, their recent form is impressive. Livingston have collected the joint second highest points total from their last five games, just two behind Celtic.
The first objective will be to get possession inside their box. We have the players to make any defender nervous at making a rash challenge with a penalty on the line. Shots from the edge of the area will be important. A ricochet did us no harm against St Mirren, against a packed defence, another is very possible.
Teams who win leagues win games like this. Three points for Celtic here will go a long way to achieving that objective.

It wouldn’t have happened in England.
It’s a reflection of Scottish society.
Ok. He selected himself then.
Gotcha.
Disappointed that I lost the Ernie bingo though, I went for offensive behaviour at football act but he sold me a dummy with the referendum, damn.
I had cult
So the people of Scotland are now responsible for the decisions of the red tories.
Belter.
What colour of ball will qe use tomorrow ?
Yellow for winter.
White for summer ?
Incidentally the Leicester v Leeds game was the first to implement change.
I think 🙂🙂.
HH.
PS : Imagine picking a bus up @ 03.50hrs to go to Livingston. That’s dedication.
I look forward to livi like I look forward to the dentist
Seemingly lots of Tories in Scotland, according to recent posts.
Red Tories,
Tartan Tories.
Red card, Red card Tories.
Ach well.
People fetishizing all things Scottish don’t like aspect of Scottish culture shockaroonie.

Still struggling to understand the reality of Shane Warne’s passing.
He was the ultimate. A sporting genius who did it his way and boy did he do it.
He loved life to the max for sure. He also appreciated everything it gave him.
Sadly he still had so much to give back which he also did so well.
Excited to be going to Livingston tomorrow.
Words I never thought I would ever say !
Seriously positive about it despite the recent record. I haven’t been to a game here for a good while. I am sure we will have the focus and the endeavour and skill to get the result.
ERNIE LYNCH
The big lie I was alluding to was that independence will mean greater oppression of Catholics. A lie you repeat regularly.
I know you don’t believe it – propaganda – but can you explain why Rangers supporters and Orangemen are so terrified of the thought of an independent Scotland?
Take your time.
I honestly think a good result tomorrow will deflate them and heap the pressure back on to them.
Their next game in the league is a day after ours. Then we go to Ibrox and then again we play 24 hours before them. Win tomorrow and the advantage will be with us almost into May.
Burnley,
If the social media rumour is true Shane Warne went out on a high, doing what he loved…

That’s you off then doing what you do best. Lying and misrepresentation. It’s your stock in trade.
My view on the issue, which I have stated before but not often, as it’s hardly front and centre of my thinking, is that the DOBs will have more influence in a population of 5.5m than a population of 62m.
Look at the death of the huns. I’d suggest there would have been an altogether trajectory to that in an independent Scotland.
As for why they think the way the do, DOBs views on most things are incoherent.
So it’s not only your Scottishness that you have in common with them.
What’s the word on the timetable for the referendum? I’m sure if anyone knows you do.

Its very concerning.
Be interesting to see what the swamp has to say for itself in the big court??
Professor Dolores Cahill is the go to lady.

No surprise of that is true.
Deep down there is a bit of us all which would love to have been Shane Warne for sure.
Ernie who approved the orangeman to stand for labour?
Nothing is Impossible.

No idea of their identities, but I’m pretty sure they’d be Scottish.
As I’ve said it wouldn’t happen in England. Or Wales. Only in Scotland.

I assume he was selected because he would appeal to part of the electorate.
As I say, it’s a Scottish thing.
It’s a part of Scottish culture. It’s been around longer than the SNP.
Petec hope all is well 👍
Heard a wee tune the other day that I hadn’t heard for ages
“Papau New Guinea” / The Future Sound Of London.

Park the bus, that is a cracker of a tune 👍🏼
I’ve not read Favourite Uncle or Whitehunchdog/Whitedoghunch (either of them right?) on the blog for a while.
I hope both are safe and well
