Outstanding performance
Livingston•GoalkeeperCeltic secured a dramatic late victory over Livingston in what proved to be a frustrating evening at Celtic Park until Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 90th-minute winner. The hosts took an early lead through Marcelo Saracchi's 15th-minute strike, but their momentum was disrupted by an early injury to Reo Hatate requiring a 32nd-minute substitution. Livingston grew into the match and earned their reward when Robbie Muirhead converted from the penalty spot to level the scores at 1-1. With both sides making multiple changes in the second half and the match appearing destined for a draw, Celtic manager's decision to introduce Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Forrest in the 78th minute proved decisive. The victory maintains Celtic's strong league position and demonstrates their squad depth, while Livingston will rue not holding onto a valuable point after showing resilience to come back from behind.
