    Fans can be the extra man? They were, in this instance.

    Right-back Alistair Johnston was thinking about heading the ball behind for a corner. Until a huge shout from the Celtic fans behind his goal let him know no-one was near him.

    A thumbs up and some applause from the Canada international for the warning.

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    You would hardly be able to guess that Celtic have played more than half of this game down to 10 men after the loss of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

    The visitors have controlled the second half and Livingston have not been able to make their man advantage count with any chances other than one resulting from an error from sub stopper Scott Bain.

  7. YELLOW CARD Parkes (Livingston)published at 79mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Yet another booking after another late Livingston challenge.

    This time for sub defender Tom Parkes.

  8. Oh nowhere as effective as Giakoumakispublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Michael Stewart
    Former Hibernian midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    When I watch Oh, I look and think he's got all the attributes to be really effective.

    I don't know if he needs more game time, but he's never been able to piece it all together. I'm waiting for him to burst into life.

    When you compare him to Giakoumakis - who he was brought in to replace - Giakoumakis scored goals. He knew where the back of the net was.

    As the game in West Lothian's inches towards an inevitable conclusion and three more points for Celtic, remember there are four more Premiership games and we'll bring you team news from those shortly...

  10. Oh dear!published at 14:08 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Great chance for Oh Hyeon-gyu to stretch Celtic's lead.

    The South Korean packs plenty of power into his strike from 12 yards, but it is more dangerous for the crowd behind the goal than the net and Livingston's goalkeeper.

  11. Bit of a lull as Livi strugglepublished at 14:06 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    As we head into the closing stages, there's a bit of a lull around Almondvale.

    Celtic are comfortable with their two-goal lead and Livingston, despite having a man more, can't find a way to make that count at all.

    There's no sense of a comeback at the moment, with the home fans not really having anything to get off their seats for.

  12. YELLOW CARD Lawal (Livingston)published at 73mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    The bookings mount up as Samson Lawal takes down Daizen Maeda.

    Livingston's midfield substitute has hardly had the chance to touch the ball before making that desperate lunge.

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Oh Hyeon-gyu is immediately into the action, but the flag is up as Livingston goalkeeper Shamal George makes a double block to deny the South Korean.

  14. YELLOW CARD Bradley (Livingston)published at 69mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Steven Bradley is the next frustrated Livi midfielder who is booked as his manager makes a couple of changes.

    Samson Lawel and Kurtis Guthrie replace James Penrice and Andrew Shinnie.

    Meanwhile, Celtic give Kyogo Furuhashi a rest, with Oh Hyeon-gyu replacing him up front.

    Another sight at goal for the hosts, but striker Bruce Anderson's header is high and wide.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 66mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    It was almost game over there - if not for Shamal George.

    The Livingston goalkeeper makes a smart block as Daizen Maeda looks to slot the visitors three ahead on the break.

  17. YELLOW CARD Shinnie (Livingston)published at 65mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Andrew Shinnie was a match winner for Livingston against Celtic a couple of years ago.

    However, the midfielder's frustration ends with a booking for a late challenge on this occasion.

  18. Postpublished at 62mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    Celtic have four against two as Joel Nouble is robbed on the halfway line.

    However, Matt O'Riley picks the wrong option and Callum McGregor's shot is blocked on the edge of the penalty box.

  19. Iwata on for Hatatepublished at 60mins

    Livingston 0-2 Celtic

    It's Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers' turn to make a change.

    Goalscorer Reo Hatate is replaced with fellow Japanese midfielder Tomoki Iwata.

    More of a holding player, Iwata will likely play deeper, with Callum McGregor stepping forward a tad.

  20. Japanese connection counts againpublished at 13:51 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Much has been made of Celtic's summer recruitment, but when you have the likes of Hatate, Kyogo and Maeda already in the building, any newcomers are going to find it hard to break into the team.

    The impressive Japanese trio were all involved in creating the opportunity that was eventually converted by Matt O'Riley for Celtic's second.

    And the ground that Maeda is covering, with his side a man down, is actually frightening.
