Everyone associated with Celtic would have enjoyed their Christmas dinner a lot better following the win over Aberdeen on Sunday.
To say it was much-needed for Wilfried Nancy would be an understatement, but it was deserved, despite Kieran Tierney and James Forrest having to score late goals to secure the points.
But now Celtic head to Livingston on Saturday afternoon, hoping to make it back-to-back wins under their new manager, and continue to put the pressure on Premiership leaders, Hearts.
Ahead of the game, 67 Hail Hail writers predicted the outcome of Celtic’s match against David Martindale’s men, and everyone is in the same boat.

67 Hail Hail writers predict Livingston vs Celtic
The Celtic Park faithful are starting to understand more about what Nancy wants from his players, his all-action three-at-the-back system, the strengths of it, and the glaring weaknesses.
One major issue is Celtic without the ball under Nancy, and their inability to stop conceding clear-cut chances and keep clean sheets.
Even against ten-man Aberdeen, the champions of Scotland managed to get carved open, but the 67 Hail Hail writers are not only predicting wins galore but clean sheets also.

Wilfried Nancy is finally off the mark for Celtic, and they looked good value for it. Without being too harsh, Livingston are the sort of side we should be putting to the sword. The strikers are in desperate need of a goal to boost their confidence, and there is no better chance to get one than against the side with fewer than 10 points. I’m going for a convincing win here

4-0 Celtic. First win under the belt against Aberdeen, and hopefully, that opens the door for Nancy’s system to flow a lot better. Get the shooting boots on against a struggling Livi team, and the three points shouldn’t be a problem. Maeda brace, Yang and McGregor to join him on the scoresheet.

Celtic haven’t lost to Livingston in over three years, and I expect that to continue. In our last 10 fixtures, Celtic have conceded just four goals while scoring 25. Livingston will be physical, but I expect another big win as Wilfried Nancy’s system kicks into gear. Prediction: Livingston 0 v 4 Celtic
- Martin Crawford
It’s never straightforward at Livi away, and I’m hoping to see Nancy adapt his team accordingly. Players have their confidence back after Sunday, so I’m backing the team to get their first clean sheet under the new manager and secure the three points with a 2-0 win.
