Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a stunning stoppage-time winner on his Celtic debut to secure a dramatic 2-1 win against Livingston, keeping their title hopes alive in the process.
Ambitions of staying within touching distance of Hearts at the top of the table were beginning to fade as Celtic struggled to break down bottom-of-the-table Livingston after Robbie Muirhead's penalty cancelled out Marcelo Saracchi's opener.
However, after climbing off the bench in the 78th minute to make his debut, after only signing for the club four days prior, Oxlade-Chamberlain stepped up in the 91st minute to curl home the winner, introducing himself to the home crowd in perfect style.
The victory, as thrilling as it was, likely should have been more convincing given their dominance on the evening but the Hoops were consistently thwarted by Livingston goalkeeper Jerome Prior, who made nine saves in total.
Martin O'Neill's side now sit six points adrift of Hearts at the top of the table with a game in hand and face Kilmarnock on Sunday, live on Sky Sports, as they look to continue applying pressure in the title race.
Rangers conceding late to draw against 10-man Motherwell means Celtic now sit just one point behind their rivals.
