A rare Greg Taylor strike, a Daizen Maeda goal which the forward knew very little about and a Kyogo Furuhashi effort had effectively wrapped up another three ...

He has been integral to so much of the success which his boyhood heroes have enjoyed in recent years and looks set to be again in the coming months. The South Korean internationalist made his debut towards the end of the 2-0 triumph over Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday. But Oh came within inches of turning in a delivery from substitute Mooy tonight. He came on to make his first home appearance to a huge cheer with 16 minutes remaining tonight. Livingston are one of the most difficult teams to break down in the league. However, the West Lothian outfit had certainly had their moments in the East End of Glasgow over the years. The only surprise was Celtic failed to add more in a second-half they dominated. “The interested It was easy to understand why when the game kicked off. But the visitors didn’t offer enough going forward to merit another result. Not even new technology can deny the on-form predator. They had drawn 0-0 three times in the past four seasons.

Kyogo Furuhashi finished the contest with a fine finish in first half injury time. Now with 18 goals in 22 league games, and 21 in total, the formidable strike ...

Maeda was inches from claiming his second of the night with a diving header from Jota’s cross. As the half hour approached, the fact that Anderson was playing in a different postcode would have been of little concern to David Martindale. Drifting wide, his cross caught the visitors on the heels. Kyogo Furuhashi finished the contest with a fine finish in first half injury time. The full-back took one touch to steady himself before nailing a left-footer into George’s far corner from 16 yards. The game took on a predictable pattern. But Anderson hit the upright with Stephane Omeonga’s follow up deflected wide. With their five-man defence sitting deep, the visitors were determined to deny Celtic any rhythm. Yet their threat was dealt with in much the same way as a troublesome fly being swatted. A heavy tackle by Bruce Anderson on Callum McGregor brought another break in play. It was a good night’s work for Celtic. They are just eating up the games.

Celtic brushed aside Livingston 3-0 to maintain a nine-point lead at the top over Rangers, who beat Hearts 3-0 with an Alfredo Morelos double.

Danny Armstrong’s superb strike was enough to lift Kilmarnock off the foot of the Premiership table as they defeated fellow strugglers Dundee United 1-0 at Rugby Park. Hosts Aberdeen managed to hold out until half-time before Curtis Main fired St Mirren ahead and, despite Bojan Miovski’s 74th-minute leveller, Main grabbed his second with nine minutes left and Declan Gallagher hit a third on the stroke of full time. Greg Taylor eventually breached a resolute Livi defence in the 29th minute with a thunderous drive and three minutes later Daizen Maeda rather fortuitously added a second.

"Second half, Livingston didn't really open up so it wasn't like we were going to get bags of chances. He is getting a response to that expectation once again. He had Jack Fitzwater for company, but bobbed and weaved towards the box before placing his 21st goal of the season into the net. There ended Livingston's threat and any hope of a revival. His persistence paid off and Celtic were off and running. That was rare.

I thought the second and third goals were avoidable. We made a good chance for ourselves in the first half with Bruce [Anderson]. "He is a quality player, he is always a threat.

Dundee United sank to the bottom of the table after a 1-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Kilmarnock. “We should have scored more and have started to keep clean sheets regularly, which is the sign of a good team.” Celtic’s lead over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership remains at nine points after comfortable 3-0 wins for both sides of the Glasgow divide on Wednesday.

Jack Fitzwater insists it is important for Livingston to reset following their defeat to Celtic as they aim to cement a top-six league position.

He is going to be massive for us going into the last, 10 games before the split and we will see where it takes us. "I don't think it was a case of them slowing down in the second-half. "It would have been easy to chuck it in the second half. We will take each game as it comes but we are in a great position at the minute and even though we lost to Celtic the confidence and belief is still there, that we can do it. So it is one where we have to go and try to get three points.” I think we can do better on a couple of them.
