Celtic boss Neil Lennon hailed his three substitutes for their contributions on Wednesday night off the bench against Livingston.

The Bhoys had to settle for a 2-2 draw on the road in the league and it was an improvement on their 2-0 defeat from the last time they travelled to Livingston earlier in the league campaign.

Callum McGregor had put the visitors in front with his early goal, before Livingston turned the game on its head with goals from Scott Robinson and Jon Guthrie.

The Scottish giants continued to knock on the door searching for an equaliser and that finally came in the 91st minute through Tom Rogic.

Celtic have now picked up 25 out of a possible 27 league points since the winter break and sit top of the table with a 13-point cushion over second-placed Rangers.

Lennon gave a special mention to Rogic, Jeremie Frimpong and Leigh Griffiths for their impacts off the bench.

“The subs that came on Rogic, Frimpong, Griffiths, they all made a big contribution as well so I’m absolutely delighted with the response of the team [in the second-half],” Lennon said, as quoted by the club’s official Youtube account.

Rogic provided the crucial moment with his stoppage time equaliser, which was a simple finish inside the penalty area with his weaker right foot.

The Australian attacking midfielder popped up in the right place for his goal and hopefully that can breathe some confidence into his individual season.

Meanwhile, defender Frimpong and Griffiths will surely come into Lennon’s thinking when deciding his Celtic XI to play in the weekend’s home fixture against St Mirren in the league.
