The Champions have had a perfect start to their domestic campaign, with victories over St Mirren and Aberdeen in the league as well as a 4-1 win over Falkirk in the League Cup.

Livingston, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to the season, with David Martindale’s side beginning the campaign with a draw against Kilmarnock and then a 3-1 win over Falkirk, before crashing out of the League Cup with a 2-0 defeat against Hibernian.

Ahead of Saturday's match at Paradise, Brendan Rodgers said that he expects a tough match, as he also looked ahead to meeting up with the Livingston manager again.

"I really like David and I’ve still been in contact with him," he said. "I like his passion and he’s done a brilliant job at Livingston. I’m so happy for him and his club that they’re back in the Premiership.

“They did really well to get promoted last year, they’ve had a good result against Falkirk so they’ll come to us and want to do well in the game.

“David’s sides always make it difficult for you. They’ll look to get balls in to the box and we’ll have to be really on the game to get a result.”
