Overview
- Celtic beat Livingston 4-2 on Saturday in West Lothian, with all six goals in the first half and the visitors coming from behind twice.
- Benjamin Nygren scored a first-half brace, Yang Hyun-jun netted, and Arne Engels converted a VAR-awarded penalty after Daniel Finlayson was penalised for handball.
- BBC Sportscene pundit Leanne Crichton questioned the penalty award, saying it looked like Daizen Maeda nudged Finlayson before the handball decision.
- The win marks Wilfried Nancy’s first successive victories at Celtic and trims Hearts’ lead to three points, with Celtic holding a game in hand.
- Nancy praised his side’s fight but said they must cut out the chaos, as attention also fell on his animated touchline display, with Kasper Schmeichel expected back for Motherwell and Hayato Inamura poised for a loan to Tokyo FC.
