Celtic’s difficult season continued as Livingston secured a 2-2 draw against Neil Lennon’s side, who had substitute Scott Brown sent off late on at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Fresh from playing out a 0-0 draw against each other last Saturday, Livingston took an early lead against the champions through Ciaron Brown’s header (15).
Celtic responded thanks to Mohamed Elyounoussi’s stunning finish (28) before Nir Bitton (38) completed the turnaround for the visitors just before half-time.
In the second half, it was Livingston’s turn to fight back and they levelled the scores through Jay Emmanuel-Thomas’ strike on the hour mark before Brown, who was only on the pitch for five minutes, was shown a straight red card with seven minutes remain.
Livingston pushed for a winner, but Celtic, who have drawn three straight league games for the first time since December 2010, held on for a point as the pressure continues to build on boss Neil Lennon.
