VASILIS BARKAS 5: Stayed on his line for Livi opener and well beaten by Brown’s header. Couldn’t get near low finish for hosts’ second either as wait goes on to see keeper make a meaningful save.
KRISTOFFER AJER 7: Lost Brown under the ball as home side took the lead, but was such a threat going the other way. Should have scored right on half-time, but denied by McCrorie.
NIR BITTON 7: Was offside as he stroked home Celtic’s second, but he wasn’t to know, and produced a composed finish for his first goal in four years.
SHANE DUFFY 5: Can’t seem to catch a break. Silly foul on Hamilton gave Livi the chance to put a ball into the area, and failed to deal with delivery as Brown headed home. Steadied somewhat afterwards at least.
GREG TAYLOR 6: Got forward when he could and defended well too. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but quietly effective.
ISMAILA SORO 6: Provided the insurance policy for his teammates and made some timely interventions before tiring.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 7: Terrific disguised pass put Bitton in for Celtic’s second, and looks to be edging back towards his best form.
RYAN CHRISTIE 5: Worked hard to get on the ball, but wasn’t strong enough as he lost a 50/50 that led to Livi’s equaliser.
DAVID TURNBULL 6: Classy pass to put Ajer in and showed some lovely touches at times, but wasn’t the influence he has been of late.
MOI ELYOUNOUSSI 8: Great movement and wonderful finish to drag Celtic back level and was a constant threat all night with his ingenuity. Such a threat when he is in this mood.
LEIGH GRIFFITHS 6: Wicked corner delivery for Elyounoussi’s leveller and flashed a couple of efforts just past. Took a knock and replaced with 20 minutes to go.
SUBSTITUTES
PATRYK KLIMALA 4: Got last 20 minutes, but couldn’t influence proceedings.
SCOTT BROWN 1: Captain came on and was promptly sent off after five minutes for an elbow on Kabia. Should know better, but seemingly doesn’t.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 3: Couldn’t see enough of the ball.
MIKEY JOHNSTON 3: On to provide a spark late on, but nothing doing.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
