Matt O’Riley and Daizen Maeda come into the Celtic side for tonight’s match against Livingston after being on the bench for Sunday’s win at Dundee United.
Aaron Mooy has had a major impact in recent weeks but drops to the bench in the middle of a run of three matches in eight days.
As expected the back four remains the same, in attack Jota swaps wings with Daizen Maeda coming in for Liel Abada.
With five clean sheets behind them Ange Postecoglou’s side will be looking to continue that form and notch up their 12th successive home win in the SPFL.
David Martindale’s side lost 2-1 at Celtic Park just before Christmas, Nick Walsh will referee tonight’s match, his fifth Celtic match of the season.
