Ange Postecoglou declares Celtic title advantage over Rangers 'irrelevant' as he swerves Liel Abada VAR debate

Ange Postecoglou insists he is not focussed on Celtic's nine point Premiership advantage over Rangers as he swerved the VAR debate after seeing off Livingston.

The Japanese striker netted the deciding goal after Ayo Obileye's own goal had put the Hoops ahead. Nicky Devlin halved the deficit before Liel Abada looked to have made it three for boss Postecoglou, but VAR ruled it out after Morgan Boyes had initially got a touch on David Turnbull's pass. Abada had been deemed in an offside position but the Celtic manager was in no mood to talk about it, instead praising his goalscorer and telling others to step up against St Johnstone on Saturday after a dull second half.

He told Celtic TV: "I don't know if he needs a boost of confidence, he just needs to keep doing what's he doing. He scored again tonight and got into a couple of good areas. We just need to keep getting into those positions but we can't rely on just one player to score a goal.
