Celtic welcome Livingston to Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon, and our betting tips for the encounter can be backed in a 3/1 bet builder.
Scottish Premiership champions Celtic continue their title defence with a home clash against newly promoted Livingston on Saturday afternoon, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.
They are seen as massive 1/7 favourites by football betting sites ahead of the game.
The Bhoys head into the clash off the back of an underwhelming 0-0 draw against Kazakhstan Premier League outfit Kairat Almaty in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying play-off.
Despite the disappointment of that result, Brendan Rodgers’ side remain unbeaten thus far this term. Prior to their European outing, they recorded 1-0 and 2-0 wins over St Mirren and Aberdeen in the league, along with a 4-1 win over Falkirk in the Scottish League Cup.
Celtic and Hearts are the only two sides remaining with a 100% record in the division.
Livingston, promoted via the play-offs last term, are also unbeaten in the league. They have accumulated four points thus far, having drawn 2-2 against Kilmarnock and beaten Falkirk 3-1.
They suffered defeat in the League Cup last time out though, losing 2-0 to Hibernian at home.
Celtic vs Livingston Bet Builder Tips
- Celtic to Win Both Halves @ 1/1
- Daizen Maeda to Score at Any Time @ 4/7
- Both Teams to Score – No @ 4/5
Celtic to Win Both Halves @ 1/1
Our first tip for Saturday’s Scottish Premiership matchup between Celtic and Livingston is to back the hosts to win both the first and the second half, priced by leading bookmakers at 1/1.
While both sides head into the tie with an unbeaten record in the league, the gulf in quality between both squads is clear to see, and the Bhoys should have no issues in dominating here.
Their head-to-head record supports our pick too, as Celtic have come out on top in each of their last eight meetings. They won both halves of the match in 50% of those victories.
Additionally, they have won both the first and the second half in each of their last two domestic outings. At even money, we believe there is good value in this selection.
Daizen Maeda to Score at Any Time @ 4/7
Japanese forward Daizen Maeda, although he is yet to open his account in the Scottish top-flight as of yet this term, remains one of Celtic’s most dangerous attacking outlets.
His pace, pressing, and finishing ability put him among the best forwards in the division.
He found the net in the League Cup win over Falkirk last week, and with the Bhoys expected to dominate against Livingston, the hosts and Maeda should be afforded plenty of opportunities.
With that in mind, the 27-year-old is well-placed to score at any time at a price of 4/7.
Both Teams to Score – No @ 4/5
Our final tip is to back the hosts to win to nil at a price of around 4/5.
Celtic boast one of the strongest defences in Scotland. Backed by the Green Brigade, they kept clean sheets in the majority of their home league fixtures on their way to the title last season.
They have started off the 2025-26 campaign in the same vein, recording three clean sheets in their opening four competitive matches across all competitions.
Additionally, supporting our pick, the Bhoys have shut out Livingston in each of their last four league meetings. Livi also failed to score in their defeat to Hibernian last time out.
