Everything you need to know ahead of the Scottish Cup quarter-final at Celtic Park

Celtic will look to bounce back from their defeat to Hearts when they host Livingston in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup on Sunday.

The Parkhead side are heavy favourites to progress and after scoring seven goals in their last home match – netting six times before half-time against Dundee – it could be a long afternoon for David Martindale’s men if they succumb to early pressure.

Celtic will be without suspended winger Hyun-jun Yang following his red card against Hearts. Captain Callum McGregor remains a doubt with the calf/Achilles problem that saw him miss the defeat at Tynecastle. Reo Hatate (calf) is unlikely to feature before the international break while Maik Nawrocki (hamstring) remains out. Left-back Alexandro Bernabei has joined Brazilian side SC International on loan while Liel Abada has also departed after completing a £10m move to Charlotte FC in the MLS.

For Livingston, James Penrice (hip), Shaun Donnellan (hamstring) and Scott Pittman (Achilles) are all set to remain on the sidelines along with goalkeeper Jack Hamilton (groin).
