Without the self-isolating dozen of players plus management team Neil Lennon and John Kennedy the Hoops were still able to name a team littered with internationals for the match against the in-form West Lothian side on the back of EIGHT straight victories.
That run came to an end at Celtic park though in a ha-working encounter where neither side could do enough to see off the other.
Livingston had the better of the second half chances with Efe Ambrose heading wide of Conor Hazard’s goal and Josh Mullin clipping the crossbar, although Armstrong Okoflex could have snatched three points for Celtic late on sliding in but the reigning league champions saw another two points dropped at home.
