One word stood out from Chris Sutton’s post-match tweet on the Livingston v Celtic match- monstrosity.
The former Celtic striker doesn’t hold back on his viewpoints with the sight of a plastic pitch in the top flight of the Scottish game a regular source of criticism.
Playing on it doesn’t look fun, watching it is rarely a pleasure while the sight of a plastic pitch complete with tyre trails on television makes for another eye-sore.
Good three points for Celtic on a monstrosity of a pitch!

Whatever the complaints the surface is legal with all teams in the top flight having to make at least one visit with a similar surface in place at Kilmarnock.
Celtic appeared to get over their hang ups over the surface when they won 3-1 in March in a significant win towards lifting the title.
Before a Champions League trip to Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium the Tony Macaroni provided a major contrast but Ange Postecoglou was as good as his word when he said that the next game was always his priority.
Kyogo, Greg Taylor and Jota scored the goals that earned Celtic full points, the hoops will only be back in West Lothian in a post-spolit fixture of David Martindale gets his side into the top six. The weekend results pushed Livi down to ninth place in the table.
The rain helped today. Made the pitch less sticky and more suitable for proper football players.
Still, it’s a disgrace that these surfaces are allowed in professional football.
One of the many reasons Scotland remains a laughing stock and a backwater.
Competitive football should be played on grass. High time those clubs with artificial surfaces had a league set up of their own.
The muppets at hampden make millions
Why don’t they shell out for Livi?
