Dutch courage was shown with nine men on the biggest stage but Brendan Rodgers knows the bread and butter holds the same amount of Celtic importance.

A 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord was compounded by going down to 9-men midweek and they'll look to take out their Champions League defeat frustration on David Martindale's Livingston team.

The Lions have been a bogey team in the past forthe champions and Rodgers has already spoken of the difficulty that their plastic pitch in West Lothian adds, but that won't be an excuse that washes if points are dropped.

And there is no traditional League Cup game midweek as they aim to empty the tank in West Lthian. Both Neil Lennon and Ange Postecoglou have dropped points at this venue since Rodgers departed in 2019 so he'll be aware of the pitfalls.
