"Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a stoppage-time winner on his debut as Celtic earned a crucial 2-1 win over Livingston, while Rangers were held by 10-man Motherwell. Hearts' dramatic 1-0 derby win over Hibernian a day earlier meant Martin O'Neill's Celtic had to respond at Parkhead in Wednesday's Scottish Premiership contest. Things were going well against rock-bottom Livi when Marcelo Saracchi's powerful 15th-minute opener put Celtic ahead."
"The Bhoys wasted several chances, though, while Jerome Prior frustrated Celtic with some excellent saves. It looked like their wastefulness would prove costly when Robbie Muirhead netted a 57th-minute penalty after being fouled by Reo Hatate. But Oxlade-Chamberlain curled home brilliantly in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, to leave Celtic six points back of Hearts but with a game in hand."
