Celtic finally broke their Livingston hoodoo as they picked up their first win in six attempts in West Lothian with a composed performance against the Lions.
Daizen Maeda opened the scoring the visitors 17 minutes in after skipper Callum McGregor had missed a spot-kick moments earlier. The Japanese striker fired home from close range after Max Stryjek had produced a brilliant save to deny Carl Starfelt although Livi can feel aggrieved that the corner-kick that resulted in the opener shouldn't have been given.
Celtic predictably controlled much of the play but Livi almost levelled things up before the break when Ayo Obileye's header clattered off the bar.
