The Stadium
The Stadium is decent usually, nothing special (No Time or Scoreboard) always a pet hate of mine, I also find it disappointing that 3 sides are exclusively for away fans and the club doesnt fill its own home stand. (Twenty is Plenty) Livingston are slightly more expensive than most. This game however, Celtic packed the place, showing this stadium to be much better than decent, when full this is a caldron. Amazing atmosphere and great game as Livingston are a more than decent team. A little disappointing that there were many empty seats on the Livi side, given the fact alot of people sitting that side were also Celtic. Time for Livingston to rethink ticket pricing and promotion of the club I think.

The Football
Once again Livingston prove themselves to be a really good side and dificult to beat at home. Celtic the uncontested kings of Scotland once again struggled here. Lawson and Ambrose were brilliant at the back, with a point being slighlty more than Celtic might have deserved. Great game, Great Atmosphere and a great night out under the lights.


The Home Fans
After the almost funeral like atmosphere from the home fans at Livingston Vs Raith Rovers, they have definetely changed this perception, this was again a great showing from the home fans, Section C3 of the west stand is undeniably the heart and sould of this clubs fans.



The Away Fans
Celtic move on mass and they crammed in the 3 stands here like sardines with the green brigade in full song along with the rest of the crowd. A powerful wall of sound overcome the stadium when Celtic equalised through Rogic in stoppage time, it was truly spectacular to witness live.


No programme to show here as unfortunately Livingston don't print them which is a pet hate. They do at least provide an online version, but not really the same.
