Today was one of the worse days of this season, we should hope.

Inept, toothless, and for all the promise that Celtic have shown in the early parts of the season it is days like today where it all renders useless.

79% possession should be enough to win any game; having four-fifths of the ball is more than adequate to punish a team that are bottom of the league with no wins up to press.

And with a midfield of David Turnbull, Tom Rogic and James McCarthy, a win in Livingston should have been a formality – not ending up in the 1-0 loss that it did.

The midfield were the worst part of the game – sideways, sideways and more sideways passes as the players held the ball and proceeded to do nothing with it.

And McCarthy was the worst culprit, despite his Premier League pedigree.
