Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic team ended a futile trip to Livingston on this day in 2022 by securing a crucial three points that put them in contention for the championship. Since the Tony Macaroni team was promoted in 2018, Celtic had not won when they had traveled to West Lothian, thus it appeared like another potential banana skin. Still, the team never stopped during Ange’s tenure.
Celtic got off to a fast start in West Lothian, thanks to a goal from Daizen Maeda. Carl Starfelt headed the ball into the net after a precisely timed Jota corner. The goalie for Livi made a great save, but the Japanese attacker was there to head the ball into the net at the back post.
Celtic got things going well in the second half. James Forrest surged ahead after being located by Tom Rogic, who dashed across the park’s center. Tony Ralston was moving forward when the Scottish Internationalist, who had begun before Liel Abada, located him. The cross from the right-back was aimed at Maeda, but it rattled off Nicky Devlin, who was unable to stop it as it struck the net.
In a fun afternoon in West Lothian, Livi pulled one back after Forrest had put Celtic up 3-0.Following a hard press from Celtic, McGregor recovered the ball. Jota received the ball from Rogic and used it to release Forrest into space. The winger broke free, composed himself, and fired a shot past Max Stryjek. The Celtic legend, who had battled ailments during the previous two seasons but demonstrated that he is still capable of contributing with a goal, was well-rewarded.
