IT wasn’t so long ago that a feeling of impending doom would accompany Celtic and their army of supporters to Livingston whenever they would visit, but it could well be that Ange Postecoglou and his men have finally shaken that monkey from their backs.
Just as they did here back in March, Celtic coasted to victory by scoring three goals, with a fine early Kyogo finish and a blast from Greg Taylor on his 100th appearance for the club killing the contest, before a late goal from Jota upon his return from injury sealed a win that was never in doubt from the opening moments of the match.
Just before that strike, Celtic even had the luxury of missing a spot-kick, Giorgos Giakoumakis continuing his own personal penalty jinx against Livingston by hitting his effort off the outside of the post, a year to the day since he missed against these same opponents at the death at Celtic Park. It mattered little in the bigger picture though.
