    A win for Neil Lennon's side combined with a defeat for Rangers would have ensured an eighth consecutive title.

    Celtic's profligacy against Livingston means a delay to their title-winning ambitions

    "Very frustrating," said Lennon following the goalless draw at Celtic Park. "Great chances, a lot of good play and I don't think the scoreline reflects the performance at all but we just missed that killer touch."

    Or will Rangers reduce Celtic's lead at the top of the table to 11 points?

    The stage is set...
