Celtic preview: Fresh legs to come in
Martin O'Neill will make changes to the starting XI that faced Dundee Utd at the weekend, with Kasper Schmeichel one of several players expected to come back in after sitting out of the dramatic cup victory. On the injury front, Kieran Tierney has joined Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota and Callum Osmandin in the Celtic treatment room.
Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Saracchi, McGregor, Hatate, Hyun-Jun, Nygren, Tounekti, Cvancara
Last five results
- Celtic 2-1 Dundee Utd
- Celtic 2-0 Falkirk
- Celtic 4-2 Utrecht
- Hearts 2-2 Celtic

Livingston preview: Only two absentees
Livingston's poor form in the Scottish Premiership can't even be attributed to injuries, as the Lions are only missing two players for the trip to Celtic Park on Wednesday night. Adam Montgomery and Aidan Denholm are the two men in questions but neither of them are a million miles away from a return.
Predicted lineup: Prior (GK), Finlayson, Kabongolo, McGowan, Brenet, May, Tait, Pittman, Fati, Smith, Muirhead
Last five results
- Livingston 1-2 Falkirk
- Livingston 0-2 Motherwell
- Aberdeen 6-2 Livingston
- Livingston 1-1 St. Mirren
- Livingston 1-2 St. Mirren
Player to watch: Tomas Cvancara
There is a feeling at Parkhead that the January acquisition of Tomas Cvancara could turn out to be a defining moment in their season. Cvancara has looked good in a Celtic shirt so far and scored his debut for the club in their most recent league outing against Falkirk. If he gets going, he will be hard to stop.
