Celtic overcame Rangers' title race message with an equally impressive performance of their own with a 3-0 win over a poor Livingston side at Celtic Park.
Chances were fashioned in the first half with Jota going close after 10 minutes with a strike that he should have buried with the goal gaping, but the signs were there that they would go 1-0 up early on. Ange Postecoglou's men would have to wait half an hour for the opener, but it was well worth the wait; Greg Taylor the man in question, picking up the ball and rifling home from the best part of 15 yards in a strike similar to Callum McGregor's last-gasp winner at Aberdeen in December.
Daizen Maeda then doubled the lead just two minutes later in a comedic goal - after pinball in the Livi box, he put his body on the line with the ball being blasted at him from six yards, beating Shamal George all ends up. Kyogo then made it three just before half-time, latching on to Matt O'Riley's long ball to rifle home after a driving run.
