RATINGS LIVINGSTON
ROBBY MCCRORIE
No chance with Mohamed Elyounoussi’s volley, got a good contact on Bitton’s second for Celtic but couldn’t keep it out. Brilliant save from Ajer and a few more after the interval too.
JACK FITZWATER
Gave his all and fought his corner well.
JACK MCMILLAN
7 Put his body on the line for the cause before succumbing to cramp with 15 minutes left.
JON GUTHRIE
7 Captain’s performance by the big centre-half. Never anything less than 100-per-cent commitment.
CIARON BROWN
Did brilliantly to steer home a header for Livingston’s opener and then got an assist to his name too as he crossed low for JayEmmanuel Thomas to score. Great night’s work by the left-back.
JAY-EMMANUEL THOMAS 7
Employed on the right of midfield and looked uncomfortable at times, but showed his quality at the other end with a fine finish to put Livingston back on level terms. Valuable physical presence in his own box too.
STEVE LAWSON
Kept things simple in the middle of the park and worked tirelessly.
ALAN FORREST
Went close twice in early stages. A threat going forward and diligent going the other way until replaced just before the hour.
SCOTT PITTMAN
7 Sums this Livingston team up with his work rate and attitude. Also showed flashes of quality on the ball, and almost bagged a spectacular winner.
JULIEN SERRANO
6 Beautiful set-piece delivery for Brown to head home and a decent showing all round.
JACK HAMILTON
Won free-kick that led to his side hitting the front, but was ultimately well policed in the end by the Celtic backline. Lasted just under an hour.
SUBSTITUTES
GAVIN REILLY 4 Debutant given chance to shine, but couldn’t fashion a chance. JAZE KABIA 5 Flashed an effort just wide on his Livingston bow.
NICKY DEVLIN 4 Helped to steady the Livi backline. SCOTT ROBINSON 4
A man in-form but no time to shine here. 7
