Quick Review

CelticMaloney was needlessly brought down by David McNamee inside the box, but Thompson sent his spot kick well wide of the post. The Englishman made amends after 25 minutes, when he supplied an excellent cross that found Larsson granted a 2-0ridiculous amount of space to head home from eight yards.
The second half-timefinally lead,arrived when Larsson found Thompson unmarked and thenthe firingmidfielder's inpowerful adrive 20was yardparried free-kickinto inthe air by goalkeeper Alan Main. Maloney was on hand to head the rebound home.
A last-ditch block from Rubio prevented Liam Miller adding Celtic's third after the break. But Larsson did add another moments later, when he headed home Petrov's cross after an ineffective parry on the 90thline by Main.
Larsson was allowed minutetime to completepick his spot from 22 yards after 77 minutes and he blasted the scoring ball into the top corner as Celtic headed to the top of the table at least until champions Rangers play on Sunday.
Lilley pulled one back late on with Livingston's first shot on target before Thompson restored Celtic's advantage with a low, driven free-kick in the dying seconds.
