Livingston boss 'disappointed' in manner of goals conceded in Celtic loss

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Livingston boss David Martindale admitted Celtic were well worth the three points as the Hoops secured a 3-0 win at the Tony Macaroni Arena.But the Lions gaffer confessed he was frustrated by the manner of the goals conceded - because they were all situations that had been brought up during the week.Kyogo Furuhashi was given too much space as he fired Celtic into a 10th minute lead before Greg Taylor fizzed a 25-yard strike through the legs of an unsighted Jack Hamilton who was making his debut in the Livi goal with regular no.1 Shamal George injured.Jota completed the scoring four minutes from time to wrap up the three points.Martindale commented: "I'm disappointed but Celtic deserved the three points.

I think the goals we lost are avoidable."The first goal we worked on. That wasn't an area where I wanted the centre-back to be.

We worked on it all week. The centre-half comes into an area that should be a midfield press and that then opens up the space for wee Kyogo.

It's a very good finish but our keeper is a bit too aggressive in his positioning."He added: "The second goal is a sloppy ball into the midfield area and that's where they're really strong.
