A spirited Livingston performance fell just short as they went down 2-1 away to Celtic this evening.
It was the proverbial game of two halves as the visitors were no match for a relentless Celtic side in the opening 45 minutes during which the home side should comfortably have had the game wrapped up.
As it was, the hosts netting with their only shot made for an intriguing second-half which was much more even and almost resulted in David Martindale's men snatching a share of the spoils.
Almost incessant pressure finally told as an Ayo Obileye own goal was added to by Kyogo Furuhashi to put Celtic two goals up. But Livi are made of stern stuff and answered back through Nicky Devlin just before the break although they couldn't find a leveller.
Ivan Konovalov was called into action early and often as the Hoops practically set up camp inside the Livi defensive third. The Russian stopper saved comfortably from Matt O’Riley before seeing efforts from Reo Hatate and Anthony Ralston go close.
Under intense pressure, there was a sense a goal was coming but the visitors will be hugely frustrated at just how it arrived with Obileye’s poor attempted clearance of a Liel Abada cross being diverted into his own net.
There was no letting up after Celtic had broken the deadlock with Konovalov producing a tremendous save to deny Furuhashi on the half-hour mark.
Having seemingly rode their luck into a one-goal deficit at the break, the Japanese strike rifled the ball home on 45 minutes to double Celtic’s advantage - only for Livi to immediately answer back.

After enormous success and Oscars for films ranging from Whiplash to La La Land to First Man Director/Writer Damien Chazelle returned to an early dream project first envisioned 15 years ago, a no-holds barred look at early Hollywood, a time when not only movies were transitioning from silent to sound, but Los Angeles itself was booming from desert to bulging metropolis. People were caught up in a turbulent time of change, and it didn’t always work out for some. As witnessed in the resulting film and years of meticulous research, Babylon is a sight to behold, a decadent, free wheeling, at times even poignant look at a series of dreamers, stars, fringe players, and all who wanted a piece of a world that felt out of control, uninhibited, and full of promise – and downfall.
