The Green Brigade, which had been suspended for 13 weeks, will be back in the audience, which is an important change.

 

Maeda came on as a half-time substitute for Johnston against Hearts, but this will be his first start since the November 7 Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

Bernardo is the third midfielder to start in the last two games, following Turnbull and Tomoki Iwata.

Celtic defeated Livi 3-0 in their earlier meeting this season, but only after Joe Hart was sent off in the first half.

CELTIC: Hart; A Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Bernardo; Maeda, Kyogo, Palma; Maeda, Kyogo, Palma

Bain, Yang, Turnbull, Oh, Kwon, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh, M Johnston are the subs.
