Celtic 2 Livingston 1

Champions Celtic will unfurl the SPL flag at home to Motherwell on the opening day of the 2004-05 season.

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill insists he had no choice but to risk Chris Sutton for Sunday’s Tennent's Scottish Cup semi-final against Livingston.

Administrators brought in to save Livingston today announced that they had been forced to sack six players.
