The goal Livingston scored to defeat Celtic in September was their solitary strike in a run of six games. Since then, form has bounced, they won 0-3 at St Johnstone, 2-3 at Ross County and drew 1-1 at home to Dundee United. Notwithstanding that, I expect a backlash from Celtic tomorrow that goes someway to resolving the awful performance we put in at the Plastic Pasta Pitch.
Not so long ago, the persistent rain that has fallen on Scotland this week, would turn pitches into quagmires, unfit for precision passing. By contrast, a soaking Easter Road on Wednesday could hardly be more accommodating to Celtic’s fast passing style. Celtic Park should be equally accommodating tomorrow.
Although Tom Rogic was instrumental to the best of our performance against Hibs, there is no reason to risk his hamstring so soon. Resting him for the trip to Hungary and then to Dens Park next weekend, would be enough to keep him from globetrotting with Australia during the subsequent international break.
We return from that break to a League Cup semi-final and a relentless run of fixtures ahead of the winter break. A bit of squad management with Tom right now makes sense.

Great to see Big Joe back again, how long till the
Multies gnash their rotten teeth, bash their bloody bitten to the quick
fingernails come on and try to disrupt the flow of the best
Celtic blog anywhere.
Any bets who’s first?

Good luck Celtic, hopefully play the way we have and take a few chances, bag the points, they will be in their usual physical defensive set up so need pace and in behind them.
David 66, all the best hope you make a full recovery .
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

Bitton’s a better player. McCarthy has always been very overrated by some of our support since his Hamilton days.
Great to see Forrest back
BGFC,,
Just left McChuills. Would have been good to have met the two of you, but the place was rammed.
Another time.
