CHRIS SUTTON has singled out Nir Bitton for praise after Celtic's Premiership victory over Livingston.

The Hoops eased past their opponents with goals coming from Daizen Maeda, James Forrest and an own goal.

The victory meant Ange Postecoglou's side remain three points clear at the top of the league.

Writing on Twitter, Sutton said: "Really accomplished performance on the plastic from Celtic.

"Nir Bitton doesn’t get lots of praise but he was absolutely outstanding.

"Maeda worked tirelessly and got his reward with his goal.

"Jota was a real threat, excellent early on. Big three points."
