Ange Postecoglou called Daizen Maeda a 'menace' after his outstanding performance against Livingston helped Celtic keep their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to nine points.
The Hoops were on the ball from minute one, and despite their early dominance, it took them half an hour to finally breach the Lions' den with Greg Taylor's superb strike opening the scoring. Maeda then doubled the lead after a clearance from Livingston's backline struck him in the face and completely upended goalkeeper Shamal George, before Kyogo Furuhashi's goal in first-half stoppage-time wrapped things up before the game had hit the interval.
Celtic have now won 22 of their 24 league games, and provided they win one of the two upcoming Old Firm derbies in the league from now until the end of the season, would likely only need to win a maximum of nine of their remaining 13 league games to be crowned champions. Postecoglou was happy with the result - though he pinpointed Maeda as the king of the east end on a miserably wet night at Parkhead.
