Celtic answered more than a few questions today with a 3-0 win away to Livingston.
It is the least favoured surface in the SPFL Premiership but with 7,000 away fans filling three sides of the stadium it does have some advantages.
A month ago Celtic lost 1-0 on Kilmarnock’s plastic pitch and looked like they could have played all day without scoring.
On the back of losing to Feyenoord today’s match was one that others might have been looking to see Celtic drop points in, especially having to play for an hour with 10 men after Joe Hart had been sent off.

On the back of losing to Feyenoord today’s match was one that others might have been looking to see Celtic drop points in, especially having to play for an hour with 10 men after Joe Hart had been sent off.
Celtic were already leading thanks to a penalty from Reo Hatate but with Scott Bain replacing James Forrest the remaining players regrouped and turned in a highly effective display.
Livingston did see more of the ball but there was a purpose about Celtic in possession that should have yielded more than just two second half goals.
With full points from three away matches Brendan Rodgers has a full week on the training ground for Saturday’s trip to Motherwell and the chance to build on recent momentum.
