Reo Hatate sparkles on Celtic return as Livingston ripped apart as they soar back to Premiership summit – 3 talking points

Celtic continued their domination of Livingston as they enjoyed a 3-0 Easter stroll back to the Scottish Premiership in West Lothian.

The Lions have managed to win just one win in their last 14 Premiership games against Celtic and failed to shake the habit - and look unlikely to get another chance to upset Brendan Rodgers' side with Livingston appearing to be all-but doomed after the loss.

The visitors dominated the game against the rock bottom side - and there was a major slice of luck in the opener for returning Reo Hatate as he put his injury woes behind him. The midfielder saw his effort rebound off of Jamie Brandon and into the net. Things went from bad to worse for the struggling hosts when Hatate's replaced Bernardo lashed in a stunning striker to put the game out of reach - before Matt O'Riley got in on the scoring action late on.

Hatate was first to test the Livingston defence as he looked to make an immediate impact in his first Celtic appearance since January. Daizen Maeda took the ball forward and cut it back to his Japan teammate on the edge of the box - but Shamal George stood up to the fizzing effort to tip if over the bar.

Don Robertson will have been hoping for a quiet afternoon having caught the ire of Rodgers during his last game as referee for Celtic - but he was called into action when Kyogo went down under pressure from Mikey Devlin. However, the whistler waved away the claim and was backed up by the VAR team.

The striker looked set to open the scoring after he latched on to O'Riley's searching ball forward. He battled his way through the Livi defence to unleash a low drive but George managed to get a glove to the ball to deny the striker - in what was Celtic's only shot on target in the first
