Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to four points thanks to a comfortable win over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni stadium.

Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Greg Taylor and Jota were enough for the Hoops as they continue their fine form at the start of the 2022/23 domestic season.

Inside 10 minutes Celtic took the lead through Kyogo Furuhashi. The Japanese forward latched onto a through ball from Greg Taylor on the left hand side of the penalty area and rifled the ball past Jack Hamilton and into the top left corner of the net.

The visitors continued their dominance thereafter, with Kyogo and the James Forrest coming close to making it 2-0 - the latter drilling just wide from the edge of the penalty are after some neat play out wide.

Celtic finally bagged a well-deserved second in the 53rd minute. The second goal would come courtesy of Greg Taylor who fired the ball through a sea of bodies and through Hamilton's legs in nets from just outside the penalty area.

The Bhoys really should have been three up after they were awarded their first penalty kick since April, but Giorgos Giakoumakis - one year after missing a stoppage time penalty against Livingston - cannoned the resulting spot kick off of the post.
