Overview
- Benjamin Nygren scored twice, with Hyun‑Jun Yang and Arne Engels also on target after Cristian Montano’s early double for Livingston.
- All six goals were scored in the first half, producing a frantic opening 45 minutes.
- Engels converted a VAR-awarded penalty for Celtic’s fourth after the ball struck Daniel Finlayson’s arm, a decision Leanne Crichton said looked preceded by a slight nudge from Daizen Maeda.
- Wilfried Nancy praised his team’s fight but said they must cut out the chaos, and he drew attention on the touchline for using a notepad and being guided away late by fourth official Graham Grainger.
- Hearts’ derby loss to Hibernian set up the table swing, while Nancy said Kasper Schmeichel should be fit to face Motherwell and indicated attention to January moves including Hayato Inamura’s planned loan to Tokyo FC.
