Bhoys bounce back from Champions League disappointment

Celtic 2 Livingston 0

The Scottish champions responded to missing out on the money-spinning group stages in typically defiant fashion with a 2-0 victory over Livingston at Parkhead.

But after the match, manager Martin O'Neill revealed that Balde had been called up by the Guinea national team for the African Nations qualifying game against Liberia next Sunday while young striker Shaun Maloney had signed a three-year contract extension.
