A crazy start to the game with four goals shared in the opening 10 minutes.  In a breathtaking first half Celtic added two more goals including a VAR awarded penalty to take control of the match at half time.

There were no more goals added to the six from the first 45 minutes in a more sedate second half.

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Venue:  CELTIC PARK

CELTIC  3  LIVINGSTON  0

Scorers:  Nygren(2), Kenny

My 5th match in 9 days including 3 at Celtic Park in three different competitions.  This time it was in the league and three goals in the second secured the three points for Celtic.  Celtic had all the play but struggled to make a clear chance until the 48th minute when Nygren stepped up and produced a bit of quality to break the deadlock.  He picked up the ball in his own half and burst forward before passing to Yang, those shot was spilled into the path of Nygren who neatly slotted the ball home to ease the tension around Celtic Park.  Nygren also added the second, a well placed shot into the roof of the net.  Irish forward, Johnny Kenny completed the scoring with the third.

Livington are back in the top flight of Scottish football after a short period in the championship division and are still managed by David Martindale.

Another trip through to Livingston which is my most common away day in the last few seasons.  A fairly comfortable early afternoon for Celtic as they score within 10 minutes to take full control of the game.  Two more goals were added in the second half and in truth there could've been a few more.

Personal stuff:

Celtic return to a ground that they have not performed well on for years but despite an early penalty miss produce a strong performance to comfortably beat a side they had only taken one point from six in the two previous league meetings this season.

A frustrating afternoon for the home side as they fail to click into gear and even the generous award of a last minute penalty from Bobby Madden of all referees doesn't result in a winning goal.
