Livingston vs Celtic: TV and live stream info for Scottish Premiership clash as referee and VAR selected
Everything you need to know as Celtic make the short trip to West Lothian to take on bottom of the table Livingston in the Scottish Premiership
Celtic are back in Scottish Premiership action this weekend as they head to West Lothian to face rock-bottom Livingston in buoyant mood following new boss Wilfried Nancy’s first win in charge of the club.
A 3-1 victory at home to Aberdeen, in which late goals from Kieran Tierney and James Forrest proved crucial means the reigning champions stay within six points of league leaders Hearts with a game in hand.
Livi are currently three points adrift of second-bottom Dundee at the opposite end of the table, having picked up just nine points from a possible 51 to date. David Martindale’s side will attempt to climb out of the relegation zone by recording a rare win over Celtic.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of Saturday’s fixture about how to watch the action online and on TV, as well as the who will be the referee and VAR officials:

Who are the match officials?
Information on the referee for Saturday’s encounter at The Home of the Set Fare Arena has been released by the Scottish FA, with Matthew MacDermid confirmed as the man in the middle. He will be assisted by Frank Connor and Dougie Potter, with Nick Walsh on VAR, assisted by Graeme Leslie.
MacDermid has refereed 10 Scottish Premiership matches this season, two of which have included either Celtic or Livingston. He oversaw Celtic’s 2-0 defeat to Dundee at Dens Park in October, handing out two yellow cards to Hoops players on that occasion.
Livingston vs Celtic previous meetings
Last time the two sides faced each other, Celtic ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at Parkhead as the Hoops went two points clear at the top of the Premiership in August ahead of the ill-fated Champions League qualifier in Kazakhstan.
Prior to that, the two sides hadn’t faced each other since March 2024, with Livingston spending a season back in the Championship following their relegation from the top-flight. On that occasion, Brendan Rodgers’ side prevailed by the same 3-0 score line in West Lothian.
