Livingston striker Steven Craig believes his side can pull off a
shock against Celtic in the Tennents Scottish Cup.
The First Division side play host to the red-hot favourites for the
cup in Sunday's clash, live on Sky Sports 1 and top scorer Craig is
looking forward to locking horns with the Scottish giants and is
confident Livingston can repeat Clyde's stunning Scottish Cup
success over Celtic last season.
"I can't wait for the game, it is going to be a massive occasion,"
Craig told skysports.com. "It is a one-off game in front of the
television cameras and in front of a big crowd at Almondvale.
"I believe we have a big chance to pull off a shock as anything can
happen in the cup. We are definitely encouraged by Clyde's win last
season and we need to stand up and be counted."
Craig believes all the pressure is on Celtic going into the clash
and he insists all the Livi squad are looking forward to the
tie.
"We have nothing to lose really as Celtic are expected to win,"
added Craig. "All the pressure is on them as they are champions and
the best team in Scotland.
"Everyone in the squad is excited about the game and we are going
to go out there and see what happens. If Celtic have an off day and
we play to our capabilities we feel we can win.
"We have no fear of facing Celtic."
Craig has not enjoyed much luck against Celtic in his career having
never beaten them or scored against them previously and he is keen
to break that duck this weekend.
"I have never beaten them in my career and I have never scored
against them either," noted Craig. "Hopefully I can put that right
this weekend."
