Livingston are an established part of the modern Scottish landscape, founded in 1943 and now based at The Home of the Set Fare Arena. Their 2026-27 campaign has them in the Championship, sitting fifth, with a 33-man squad carrying an average age of 27.
Their season has been uneven, with a clear split between home security and away fragility. At home they have averaged two goals scored and none conceded, a tidy enough base for any side at this level. Away from home, the pattern turns: no goals scored on average and two conceded, which explains much of the inconsistency.
Recent league form has reflected that imbalance. A 2-0 home win over Queen’s Park sits among heavier defeats to Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock and Dundee, while draws with Dundee United and Aberdeen show a side capable of making games awkward without always turning that into momentum. Robbie Muirhead has been their main source of goals with six, ahead of Graham Carey and Tyrese Sinclair on two each.
For Celtic supporters, Livingston remain a familiar Scottish opponent rather than a curiosity: organised at home, less convincing on the road, and currently operating as a mid-table Championship side with League Cup Group E involvement already part of their season’s story.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Celtic have the clear early edge: six points from two matches has them top, while Livingston are third and already carrying an away defeat. Livingston’s home scoring is the part Celtic should respect, but their overall balance is closer to competitive mid-pack form than title-setting pace.
