Celtic have become an unstoppable machine in Scotland, so there was no surprise when Brendan Rodgers’s side got the better of Livingston away from home in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Defending champions Celtic beat Livingston 3-0 in the league.
Reo Hatate put the Hoops in the lead in the 14th minute.
Matt O’Riley made it 2-0 in the opening minutes of the second half.
Daizen Maeda scored the third goal for Celtic in the fifth minute of injury time.
Matt O’Riley impresses for Celtic vs Livingston
Celtic played most of the match with 10 men after goalkeeper Joe Hart was sent off in the 28th minute.
It was a massive effort for Celtic to win the match, and one of the best players on the pitch was O’Riley.
The 22-year-old midfielder has been superb for Celtic, and he was brilliant on Saturday.
The Denmark Under-21 international consistently tried to make things happen with his passing and was direct in his approach.
O’Riley is also fast becoming a major goal threat.
The youngster has scored four goals and given two assists in six Scottish Premiership matches for Celtic so far this season.
Praise for Matt O’Riley
Last season, the 22-year-old midfielder scored three goals and provided 12 assists in 32 Scottish Premiership starts for the Bhoys.
As you can see below, Celtic attacker Liel Abada was impressed by the performance produced by O’Riley.
The result means that Celtic are now at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with 16 points from six matches.
Brendan Rodgers’s side are two points above St. Mirren in second.
Celtic are back in action next Saturday when they lock horns with Motherwell away from home in the Scottish Premiership.
