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 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
