ROBBY MCCRORIE 7: No chance with Elyounoussi’s volley, got a good contact on Bitton’s second for Celtic but couldn’t keep it out. Brilliant save from Ajer and a few more after the interval too.
JACK FITZWATER 6: Gave his all and fought his corner well.
JACK MCMILLAN 7: Put his body on the line for the cause before succumbing to cramp with 15 minutes left.
JON GUTHRIE 7: Captain’s performance by the big centre-half. Never anything less than 100 percent commitment.
CIARON BROWN 8: Did brilliantly to steer home a header for Livi’s opener and then got an assist to his name too as he crossed low for JET to score. Great night’s work by the left-back.
JAY-EMMANUEL THOMAS 7: Employed on the right of midfield and looked uncomfortable at times, but showed his quality at the other end with a fine finish to put Livi back on level terms. Valuable physical presence in his own box too.
STEVE LAWSON 6: Kept things simple in the middle of the park and worked tirelessly.
ALAN FORREST 7: Went close twice in early stages. A threat going forward and diligent going the other way until replaced just before the hour.
SCOTT PITTMAN 7: Sums this Livingston team up with his work rate and attitude. Also showed flashes of quality on the ball, and almost bagged a spectacular winner.
JULIEN SERRANO 6: Beautiful set-piece delivery for Brown to head home and a decent showing all round.
JACK HAMILTON 6: Won free-kick that led to his side hitting the front, but was ultimately well policed in the end by the Celtic backline. Lasted just under an hour.
SUBSTITUTES:
GAVIN REILLY 4: Debutant given chance to shine, but couldn’t fashion a chance.
JAZE KABIA 5: Flashed an effort just wide on his Livi bow.
NICKY DEVLIN 4: Helped to steady the Livi backline.
SCOTT ROBINSON 4: A man in-form but no time to shine here.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
