Livingston v Celtic

Celtic came back from a goal down to win 3-1 at Livingston and extend their lead at the top of the SPL to 15 points

Martin O'Neill's side now need eight wins from 12 games to retain their title as second-half goals from Lubo Moravcik, Henrik Larsson and John Hartson completed the turnaround.

But they could have easily gone under to Livi, who made a dream start by taking the lead after just four minutes through a breathtaking 25-yard strike from Quino.

The ball broke to the Spanish star and he unleashed a stunning right-foot volley which flew past goalkeeper Robert Douglas and in off the underside of the bar for his fifth of the season.

And the champions went in one down at half-time before unleashing an onslaught after the break.

They thought they had grabbed the equaliser in the 56th minute.

Moravcik's cross was headed towards the far post and Joos Valgaeren headed home from close range, but the linesman had his flag up although the reason was not clear.

There was no doubt though with Celtic's leveller two minutes later as Moravcik produced another piece of magic.

Henrik Larsson teed him up and he drilled a low left-foot shot into the bottom corner - although on-loan keeper Nick Culkin might have done better.

And Culkin could do nothing to prevent the charged-up visitors from taking the lead in the 61st minute.

Smith's right-wing cross was completely missed by Hartson, but Larsson made no mistake to fire emphatically into the bottom corner for his 25th goal of the campaign.

Celtic's stunning second-half comeback was sealed in the 72nd minute with Hartson also getting his name on the scoresheet.

The Welshman reacted quickly to some slack defending from John Anderson inside his own area to stab the ball home past Culkin and into the bottom corner.
