SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Sunday's Scottish Premiership clash between Livingston and Celtic.
Livingston vs Celtic (Sunday, 15:00)
Celtic will be looking to get back to winning ways when they lock horns with Livingston in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou's side threw away a two-goal lead to lose 4-3 to Real Betis in a barnstorming start to Europa League Group G on Thursday evening.
The Hoops return to domestic duty on Sunday with a trip to the Tony Macaroni Stadium, a venue where Celtic have failed to triumph since Livi returned to the top-flight.
David Martindale's Lions' prop up the early Scottish Premiership table, posting just one point after their opening five games of the season.
As such, Celtic are heavily fancied here at a general 4/9 but I'm going to head to the Bet Builder market and combine Celtic double chance, over zero Celtic goals and over one Livingston card, a nice looking 10/11 (UniBet) shot.
Postecoglou's free-scoring team have notched in 12/13 matches this season, hitting three or more goals on no fewer than six occasions thus far.
That does not bode well for a Livingston side that have shipped at least two goals in four of their opening five Scottish top-flight tussles this term.
With that in mind, combining a solitary Celtic strike alongside Celtic double chance makes plenty of appeal, but in order to boost the odds, I'll throw over one Livi card into the equation.
Martindale's side sit top of the early-season disciplinary standings, with a whopping 3.20 yellow card per-game average and they may deploy the dark arts here in an attempt to tame the division's' top scorers.
What's more, Celtic have been handed a bumper allocation of tickets in West Lothian on Sunday so a boisterous Bhoys crowd could impose influence over referee Euan Anderson who is averaging over 3.5 cards per 90 minutes this season.
