What time and TV channel is Celtic v Livingston on tonight?

Celtic host Livingston this midweek as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership even further.

With Rangers travelling to third-placed Hearts, victory for the Hoops could see them increase their nine-point lead if they win and the Light Blues drop points.

But fourth-placed Livingston have caused Celtic plenty of problems over the past few seasons and they'll be hoping to do so again as they aim to qualify for Europe.

David Martindale's side have taken points off Ange Postecoglou's men both at home and away over the past 18 months.

Here's what you need to know about the match:

Where and when is it?

The fixture takes place at Celtic Park on Wednesday, February 1.

What time is kick-off?

The action commences at 7.45pm.

What TV channel is it on?

The match will not be televised live in Ireland or the UK, but will be streamed on pay-per-view by Celtic for a cost of £12.99.

Quotes corner

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou: “Look, he [Livingston manager] is doing a great job and it just goes to show that he’s got a clear idea of how he wants his team to play, he backs his players.

“You can tell every game they are up for the contest. They are well drilled and well disciplined, and that’s why they are in the position they are in the league.

“I’ve got admiration for him. I have said before, I’ve got admiration for all the coaches. Irrespective of where you are working there are always challenges there.

“I have respect for everyone who is in that role but where Livingston are and the way they have gone about things you can only admire what he and everyone at that football club has done including the players.”

Livingston midfielder Jason Holt: “It probably is in the best place, yes, in terms of league position and points return at the moment. We just need to keep doing that.

“In terms of the squad there is a lot of quality and strength in depth.

“There is always values here at the club in terms of dressing room togetherness and work ethic and when you put the quality of player we have got in there as well, it always helps.

“There is a lot of games left and so pick up as many points as we can before the split and take it from there.”
