It was a night of late drama at Celtic Park tonight, with the Hoops digging deep and taking all three points against a resilient Livingston side who spent much of the match camped in their own penalty area. The goal which gave Celtic a deserved 2-1 victory came in injury time at the end of the 90 minutes and made it a debut to remember for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who produced a moment of brilliance from the edge of the box to find the back of the net and spark wild celebrations at Paradise. Oxlade-Chamberlain was named as Man of the Match on the back of that winning goal and, alongside Celtic captain Callum McGregor, he spoke to Celtic TV after the match and reflected on a big night for the Hoops and for himself. “I was drawing that one up in the hotel room earlier.” Oxlade-Chamberlain said. “Those are the things you dream of. “To be at this age, late on in my career, moments like that are why you play the game. ‘You never get bored of stuff like that. I’m just delighted that the club has given me the chance to be back on the pitch.’ “They’ve put faith in me to have moments like that. That’s my job, to try and add a bit of quality like that. “It was great character from the boys, they stayed focused all the way through the game and we got the job done.”On the character shown by his team-mates tonight and throughout the season so far, Callum McGregor said: “A huge three points. Alex gets an unbelievable goal, big quality, but the team are fighting right to the end. “We should be out of sight by half time to be honest, but it’s a good sign that we keep going and scoring so any late goals is just testament to the mentality of the group. “We have to keep trying to be better, score early goals and take away that nervy ending, but it’s a positive sign the amount of late goals the team have scored.”FixturesCeltic Vs.
