Celtic ran out 2-1 winners against Livingston in their first competitive match at home for over five weeks on Wednesday night.

An own goal from Lions defender Ayo Obileye and a well-taken finish from Kyogo Furuhashi was enough for the Scottish champions to see off David Martindale's men in the end.

It is a result which keeps the Hoops nine points clear at the top of the league table.

While the Bhoys did pick up the victory in the match, Parkhead boss Ange Postecoglou was not happy with his team's performance.

He said: "I thought in the first half we controlled the game and did the things we wanted to but I was disappointed. We created good chances but people in the box weren’t doing their jobs. Balls flashed across goal but people weren’t there.

"It’s disappointing because we work on that constantly. "We’ve had a lot of success playing that way so when it doesn’t happen I get frustrated because there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it.

"It’s not clinical it’s just being disciplined and being in those areas. We still created chances but those numbers should be greater if we got on the end of things. It’s unacceptable - we work on it constantly so players know they should be in that area."

Celtic were also on the end of yet more VAR controversy as the Hoops felt they had a penalty claim and Liel Abada also had a goal chopped off after he was ruled to be offside.
