Celtic have taken the lead against Livingston in the 49th minute thanks to a Jamie Brandon own goal.
The Hoops started the half with intent, and Nicolas Kuhn was able to dispossess Steven Bradley, leading to a mix-up in the Livingston defence.
Kuhn played a cross into the box, causing a scramble, with Reo Hatate attempting to get a shot off on goal, which was saved by Shamal George in the Livingston goal.
Brandon found himself poorly positioned, leading to the ball deflecting off him for a vital first goal for Celtic after a disappointing first half

Kuhn is certainly growing as a player week by week, and despite being criticised by some after joining in January, he is continuing to produce an impressive creative threat off the right wing, which Celtic certainly lacked for the first half of the season.
The German is a dynamic winger who has the ability to hug the touchline and also cut inside, adding to his unpredictability for opposition defenders.
What has also been very apparent this afternoon is his off-the-ball work and determination to regain possession, even when it looks impossible, ultimately leading to the opening goal.
