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.

A savvy Cellic manager would’ve recruited Lewis Ferguson from Aberdeen, instead of, O’Riley, Hatate, Guchi.

Lewis Ferguson is good at tumbling in the penalty area but somehow I don’t think he’d be rewarded with as many spot kicks in a Celtic shirt.

They would have more influence in a country of 5.5m than 62m.
And in a country that, even by the cult’s own admission, would be facing drastic austerity that might not turn out well.

Maybe you want to back off a wee bit from the Sportscene narrative.
PTB….maybe you want to park yer arse elsewhere
looks like i have fell victim to the celtic double charging from wednesday
though one of the charges is dated 7th which is monday so they must have only charged me a 2nd time today
to be fair it was a nice pie…
Stivs dont encourage him ffs.
Guys a maniac and Hun.
Anyway thank feck for Anti Biotics I’m feeling 80% better now.
Feckin flu and a chest infection was a nightmare combo.
D :)
0-0 HT at Ibrox.
Ernie.
How would the orange lodge influence anything in Scotland.
Where do they influence now ?
How many members do you think it has ?
Who in any position of power is an orangeman ?
Any in business ?
Do you think the fella in Lanarkshire will be voted in andwalk down the street with a flute band ?
Good afternoon all from the Victoria Bar.
Sevco with 65% possession, with Sheep committing 5 fouls to 2 by Huns. ( Courtesy of Cheatin’ Beaton ). A reversal of relative foul pattern for most of our games.
Don’t think either side have had a shot on target.

Regarding our pitch it was supposed to be like the ones in England a Hybrid does not look like it to me.
Very patchy down the wings.
Penalty and red card on way from the crown bar reprobate.
Katie Zelem scores her third goal, direct from corners, in 2 games for Man Utd Women’s team.
Charlie Tully type accuracy.
C’Mon the Sheepies!
Ernies back!
I hear the new Labour flag has artillery on it.
With a butcher’s apron of course.
I’m hearing orangism is the new socialism.

Glad you are on the mend. Anti biotics are wonderful. The only problem is that the bacteria they are targeting will have developed resistance to them if you are affected by the same bacteria at a later date.
Dundee Utd 1 Hertz 1. Each team scored in the first minute of a half. Pays to concentrate!
Toney with 2 goals today, first from an Ajer assist, and the second from a penalty. 10 goals now, and yet to miss a penalty. I’m surprised at the latter, because he hardly takes a run up, making it harder to generate power. Proof is in the pudding, I guess.
Southampton, with big Fraser in goal and Stewart Armstrong and Elyounnoussi at wingbacks, being slaughtered 4-0 by Villa, with a long way to go.
Toney hat trick, with second penalty.
Iniquitousiv – Cheers.
I tried to ride out the chest infection but it was not getting any better so had to turn to the Doc and some Meds.
D :)
DAVID66.
Nae problem mate. I’ve done the same myself, when their is no other option.
Arabs now leading Hertz.
Elyanoussi – shudder.
TWO seasons on loan. The adage fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me had never been so apt.
I have a feeling that Wayne Rooney’s Derby County will overtake Reading to escape relegation, despite being penalized an amazing 21 points.
Sevco with 68% possession, 15 shots to 1, none on target, 10 corners to 2, and 4 fouls to 12.
Yeah I watched 10 minutes of the hun game, dreadful. Went back to painting the fence

I can’t watch, because I will jinx the sheep. I got the stats from the BBC page. Still expect a Beaton penalty at some point.
Like PB, I watched a few minutes of the Sevco game. The Huns are the better side ( but not by all that much) but look unimaginative. I think a 0-0 draw remains the likely outcome. If so, I can just imagine their hordes talking of how the Dons try so hard against their team but not against us :-))
Mon the broonie
Leeds and Everton may escape the drop because of Burnley’s frugality in the transfer market. Now 0-4 down to Chelski. Look out for the American kid Pulisic at the World Cup. He is some player.

Just as you are not a member of a political party, but somehow are slavishly devoted to propagandising on behalf of a particular one, so there are people who while not actually members of the OO will nevertheless support or sympathise with them.
I doubt anyone involved with the huns going bust and the cavalcade of litigation that has ensued is actually an OO member, but I’d lay odds a few of them will know the tunes.
They exist. They have their views and they will be heard.
Just logged onto the huns game.
BASTURT.
