Livingston vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips | December 27th 2025

Livingston will host Celtic at Almondvale Stadium in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. Livi have won just one of their 17 league games this season and are at the bottom of the standings with nine points. The defending champions are second in the league table with 35 points.

The hosts are winless in all competitions since August. They met St Mirren in their previous league outing and suffered a 1-0 away defeat. They failed to score for the third time in four games.

The visitors returned to winning ways after four consecutive defeats last week, with a 3-1 home triumph over Aberdeen. Benjamin Nygren gave them the lead in the 39th minute, and late goals from Kieran Tierney and James Forrest helped them register a comfortable win.

• The two teams have met 42 times in all competitions. As expected, the defending champions have the lead in the head-to-head record with 33 wins. The hosts have two wins, and seven games have ended in draws.
• They last met in the reverse fixture in August, and the visitors secured a 3-0 win, extending their winning streak in this fixture to nine games.
• Livingston have lost five of their last seven home games in all competitions. They have conceded two goals each in six games in that period.
• Celtic have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five games in all competitions.
• Eight of the last nine meetings between the two teams have produced over 2.5 goals.
• The hosts have the second-worst attacking record in the league this season, scoring 17 goals, 12 fewer than the defending champions.

Livingston vs Celtic Prediction

Livi have lost four of their last five league games, failing to score in three games in that period. They have failed to score in five of their last six meetings against the visitors and will look to improve upon that record.

Adam Montgomery is ineligible to face his parent club, while Cammy Kerr, Aiden Denholm, and Shane Blaney are sidelined with injuries.

The Bhoys registered their second win of the month last week and will look to build on that form. They have won their last four away meetings against Livi, scoring three goals apiece in all of them, and are strong favorites.

Jota, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Kelechi Iheanacho, Marcelo Saracchi, Alistair Johnston, and Callum Osmand are sidelined with injuries. Sebastian Tounekt and Michel-Ange Balikwisha are on international duty.

Considering the hosts' poor run of form and the defending champions' dominance in this fixture, we back the visitors to secure a comfortable win.

Prediction: Livingston 0-3 Celtic
