Larsson brace sends Celtic top

CELTIC moved back to the top of the Scottish Premier League on Sunday as Henrik Larsson's brace earned a 2-0 win at Livingston.

The super Swede notched his 23rd and 24th goals of the season at the start and the end of the game at Almondvale to give Martin O'Neill's men the edge, and the three points that puts them a point ahead of Rangers at The SPL summit.

Larsson put the visitors ahead in the sixth minute from the penalty spot after Trinidad and Tobago defender Marvin Andrews had brought down Stilian Petrov.

The prolific marksman made no mistake from 12 yards when he buried the spot kick past Javier Sanchez Broto in the Livingston net.

The score remained at 1-0 for the majority of the game until Larsson pounced again seven minutes before the end to seal the game for The Bhoys, and hand them the SPL lead.
