Celtic midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi could still depart Parkhead, despite the transfer window in Europe coming to a close yesterday.

It should be interesting to see what his next move is in the coming weeks and months. It is a shame things haven’t worked out for Ideguchi during his second spell in Europe. However, there will still be opportunities for Ideguchi to depart in the coming weeks. So, there is still plenty of time for J-League sides to make their move. One of the main opportunities that is likely to arise for the former Leeds United man is a return to the J-League. At this stage, most would agree that it might be best for the Japanese international to get a move elsewhere in order to get back playing regularly.

The Yokohama F Marinos defensive midfielder originally agreed a loan until the end of the season before it becomes permanent. RELEASED: Scott Robertson (Fleetwood Town), Moritz Jenz (loan ended, Schalke), Oliver Abildgaard (loan ended, Hellas Verona). LOANED: Tobi Oluwayemi (Cork City), Johnny Kenny (Shamrock Rovers).

A rare Greg Taylor strike, a Daizen Maeda goal which the forward knew very little about and a Kyogo Furuhashi effort had effectively wrapped up another three ...

He has been integral to so much of the success which his boyhood heroes have enjoyed in recent years and looks set to be again in the coming months. The South Korean internationalist made his debut towards the end of the 2-0 triumph over Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday. But Oh came within inches of turning in a delivery from substitute Mooy tonight. He came on to make his first home appearance to a huge cheer with 16 minutes remaining tonight. Livingston are one of the most difficult teams to break down in the league. However, the West Lothian outfit had certainly had their moments in the East End of Glasgow over the years. The only surprise was Celtic failed to add more in a second-half they dominated. “The interested It was easy to understand why when the game kicked off. But the visitors didn’t offer enough going forward to merit another result. Not even new technology can deny the on-form predator. They had drawn 0-0 three times in the past four seasons.

Left-back Greg Taylor eventually breached a resolute Livi defence in the 29th minute with a thunderous drive and three minutes later Japan attacker Daizen Maeda ...

Furuhashi missed the target with a good chance within a minute of the restart, Maeda headed wide from close range just before the hour mark and there were several other near misses. However, he has been unable to put a dent in Celtic's nine-point lead at the top of the table and belief and confidence in the east end of Glasgow appears unshakeable. Fellow countryman Kyogo Furuhashi struck on the counter just before the break with his 21st goal of the season and perhaps surprisingly that was the end of the scoring.

Celtic brushed aside Livingston 3-0 to maintain a nine-point lead at the top over Rangers, who beat Hearts 3-0 with an Alfredo Morelos double.

Danny Armstrong’s superb strike was enough to lift Kilmarnock off the foot of the Premiership table as they defeated fellow strugglers Dundee United 1-0 at Rugby Park. Hosts Aberdeen managed to hold out until half-time before Curtis Main fired St Mirren ahead and, despite Bojan Miovski’s 74th-minute leveller, Main grabbed his second with nine minutes left and Declan Gallagher hit a third on the stroke of full time. Greg Taylor eventually breached a resolute Livi defence in the 29th minute with a thunderous drive and three minutes later Daizen Maeda rather fortuitously added a second.

Kyogo Furuhashi finished the contest with a fine finish in first half injury time. Now with 18 goals in 22 league games, and 21 in total, the formidable strike ...

Maeda was inches from claiming his second of the night with a diving header from Jota’s cross. As the half hour approached, the fact that Anderson was playing in a different postcode would have been of little concern to David Martindale. Drifting wide, his cross caught the visitors on the heels. Kyogo Furuhashi finished the contest with a fine finish in first half injury time. The full-back took one touch to steady himself before nailing a left-footer into George’s far corner from 16 yards. The game took on a predictable pattern. But Anderson hit the upright with Stephane Omeonga’s follow up deflected wide. With their five-man defence sitting deep, the visitors were determined to deny Celtic any rhythm. Yet their threat was dealt with in much the same way as a troublesome fly being swatted. A heavy tackle by Bruce Anderson on Callum McGregor brought another break in play. It was a good night’s work for Celtic. They are just eating up the games.

Celtic maintain their nine-point lead in the Scottish Premiership after easily beating Livingston.

Attempt blocked. - Away0 - Shots Livingston host Kilmarnock the previous day (15:00) looking to cement their top-six position. "Ange has his team playing some very, very nice football. "Second half, Livingston didn't really open up so it wasn't like we were going to get bags of chances. He is getting a response to that expectation once again. He had Jack Fitzwater for company, but bobbed and weaved towards the box before placing his 21st goal of the season into the net. There ended Livingston's threat and any hope of a revival. His persistence paid off and Celtic were off and running. That was rare.

“But we realised fairly early that he had got a bang on the nose and a bit of blood was coming out. “That is pleasing for me, yeah. And you can get clean sheets through really strong defensive work and a real commitment to being aggressive in our counter pressing. “You can get clean sheets in many ways,” he said. “Sometimes he gets goals which people will say, for want of a better word, fortuitous. I’ve known him for a while now and he always get goals.

Goals from Harry Leonard, Tayo Edun and Sam Burns secure a comfortable victory for Mike Sheron's side.

Kilby are sixth in the table after failing to beat Celtic B and 10 points off top spot with games running out.

“We’ve got 11 games left and 33 points to play for. “I think it will be very close to the same team as the Celtic game and it is actually a good opportunity to get minutes into the new players.” “As much as it is out of our hands, we need to make sure we get as close as we possibly can to taking 100 per cent of the points remaining.

MIBBERY – 2/10 – One point for trying, one point for giving us a laugh. Exemplary manner in which to conduct ourselves at this stage of the season and in such henious climatic conditions.

CALMAC – 6/10 – There will be blood; Nearly another face-off for Calmac – shouts heard in the bowels of the main stand for somebody to ‘Dig out a flaming Zorro mask!’ as he took a clattering; won a brave 50-50 but breath was held. LORD KATSUMOTO – 8/10 MOTM – If Daizen didn’t possess the same heavy touch as teenage me locked in a sauna with ’67 Raquel Welch, he’d be worth about as much as I’d pay for the latter scenario to come true. His goal was a Daizen goal if ever you saw one – can’t deliberately knock it in no matter the glaring opportunities, so obviously the universe will play pinball with his gub until the net bulges. GET CARTER – 6.5/10 – A rumble in the jungle? ROXIE – 6/10 – Big Joe with nothing to do, plays a ball with his club shoe…And then his poetry composition was interrupted by a Star Lord clanger and the action was on. CCV’s organisation and awareness kept the ship steady and his consistent presence in the right areas left them bereft of hope in advanced positions. He’d already announced his presence with some sharp links, and back on his game we get the added threat of a goal or two. Touch from his right onto his rapier left and a fizzing cracker lit up the dreich night.

The Livingston boss saw his side ship three goals in the opening 45 minutes in Glasgow – but they shored up in the second period.

Are we going to come here and score four goals? It’s how you spend it and then it’s how you coach the players you bring in." We never got that goal to get the impetus to get us up the park.
