First-half goals from Greg Taylor, Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi secured a 3-0 win for Celtic over Livingston in their last outing, maintaining the Hoops’ nine-point lead over title chasers Rangers.

Kyogo Furuhashi: Goalscorer extraordinaire played a great part in the build-up to the opener when he found compatriot Maeda with a cracking diagonal and then continued on his run to receive the ball from Aaron Mooy before firing across the face of goal which was turned in by the luckless Andrew Considine. Aaron Mooy: He was restored to the side in place of Matt O'Riley and threaded a neat pass into Daizen Maeda's path that led to the first goal. It didn't quite seem to come off for him on the day and it was not one for the personal Hatate scrapbook. He was always available to give and receive a pass even under pressure on a rutted and bobbly surface that was not conducive to playing free-flowing football. Cameron Carter-Vickers: He was coolness and calmness personified apart from immediately after the restart when he uncharacteristically sliced a clearance behind his own goal for a corner. [Celtic](https://www.celticway.co.uk/) number one let people into the secret of his recent shut-out success before the visit to Perth when he said: "We work hard as a team and I think that is pretty evident with our counter-press when we get the ball as far away from our goal as possible and we stay alert when that isn't possible."

Kyogo dropped deep again, released Jota into a dangerous area and Mooy reminded everyone of the fine form he is in with a delicate, composed lob over Remi Matthews. The expected canter to victory was soon interrupted, though. His cross found Kyogo and, guess what, he finished emphatically for his 22nd goal of the season. Maeda interacted with Mooy, whose pass in behind was exquisite. Kyogo has been prolific in delivering goals, many of them being the finishing touch.
