Celtic made it 2-0 early in the second half against Livingston in the early SPFL kick-off despite being down to ten men.
A first half red card for Celtic goalkeeper Jope Hart put the cat among the pigeons ahead of the second 45 with Celtic holding just a 1-0 lead. However, the bhoys came out of the blocks firing after the break and Matt O’Riley despatched his fourth goal of the season to give the bhoys a cushion.
However, it’s the assist that amused us in the aftermath of the goal. It was a great cross in by Kyogo to Daizen Maeda, but instead of finishing from close range, Maeda managed to see the ball hit his rear end which then rolled it out to O’Riley to smash it home.

Daizen is constantly a nuisance and in and around the six-yard box when the ball is on the other wing, but he needs to get his runs right!
Celtic have shown great character to go two ahead under the circumstances.
