Into the final five minutes of the first half and Livingston's Steven Bradley gets into an advanced position but it's a familiar frustration for the hosts as he cannot find a willing runner in the middle.

Best effort so far as Celtic's Reo Hatate curls a shot wide from the edge of the box. Quite close.

It has been over 30 minutes since Celtic last attempted a shot in this game.

Wonder what Brendan Rodgers is making of this in the stands.

A decent move from Celtic as Reo Hatate's superb ball in behind the Livingston defence Nicolas Kuhn but his first-time ball is neither cross nor shot as it drifts out.

There might have been contact, but it doesn't require those kind of theatrics from Kyogo.

If it's a penalty, it's a penalty.

Mikey Devlin challenges Kyogo Furuhashi in the Livingston box and the Celtic forward goes down. No penalty given and no intervention from VAR. Kyogo is up and about again but appears a little sore.

As an underdog against the Old Firm, you want to make it stuffy and sticky.

Celtic have lost some of their rhythm in the last 15 minutes.

Livingston have a rare foray forward but Michael Nottingham's ball into the box is comfortably claimed by goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Celtic are quickly up the other end but Livi get back in numbers. Cross, cut out. Pass, cut out. It's been the way of things so far.

It's a great opportunity for Celtic.

There's three players following in and someone just had to make that mark.

Another marker for Livingston as they pass the half-hour mark.

Alistair Johnston sends a low centre into the Livi six-yard box but goalkeeper Shamal George clutches it.

Celtic had found a bit of rhythm but Livingston have disrupted it somewhat over the past few minutes.

Livi are holding their own in midfield but cannot gain any territory.

Celtic assistant John Kennedy has a more prominent role in the technical area today with manager Brendan Rodgers suspended and in the stand.

That's a pattern of play that shows you can cut through the opposition with speed in your play.

Matt O'Riley is once again at the heart of it.

Euan Anderson who is the fourth official has had David Martindale and Brian Rice in his ear for a fair chunk of the game so far. Who would want that job?!

Celtic's opponents typically want to get to the 20-minute mark unscathed and Livingston have done just that.

But the visitors look dangerous as Alistait Johnston crosses for Kyogo Furuhashi to flick wide but the offside flag had been raised.

Celtic fans will be pleased to see this man back. Reo Hatate has had an injury interrupted season but is back just in time for a the crucial run-in period.

I think David Martindale will be delighted. Livingston can't afford to be bullied. They're starting to show some of the hallmarks of what they have been the last five years.

Livingston supporters rise in applause to remember their fellow fan Kieran Airns, who passed away recently.

Celtic are dominating the play.

Livingston are hanging in there. They're getting balls up to Tete Yengi, who is a wee bit of handful for the Celtic backline.
