Cristian Montano celebrates his first goal(Image: SNS Group)<\/p>\nCristian Montano’s wee boy was half right when he gave him a Saturday morning predictionCristian Montano celebrates his first goal(Image: SNS Group)<\/p>\n
Cristian Montano revealed his wee boy had a premonition he was going to net against Celtic – and that Livingston<\/a> were going to dump the Hoops.<\/p>\n Little Nico was half right.<\/p>\n But while Montano admits he was delighted to hold up his goalscoring end of the bargain, he would far rather have swapped it for the three points.<\/p>\n The rock bottom Lions came roaring out the traps with left back Montano netting twice – his first goals of the season – in the opening eight minutes.<\/p>\n Celtic<\/a> fought back for the points to leave David Martindale<\/a>\u2019s men winless in 16 league games and four points from safety at the bottom ahead of Tuesday\u2019s visit of Dundee United.<\/p>\n And Montano said: \u201cIt was a weird one because when I was having a bath at home on Saturday morning, my little boy Nico came in.<\/p>\n \u201cHe said, \u2018I have a good feeling about today, dad. You are going to score\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cNico has never really done that before but he stormed in and said I would score and we would win.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was right on one of them and when I scored, that\u2019s all I could think of. I didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I scored the second goal, I was thinking \u2018Oh my God\u2026what\u2019s going on?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cNico watched the game from home and he sent me a video of him screaming the house down when I scored!<\/p>\n \u201cI felt very confident and positive about the game. When I heard him say that, it made me believe a little bit more and it was good to get two goals. But I would rather not have scored if we\u2019d been able to get three points.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a tough pill to swallow. We need to take belief from what we did against Celtic. We went toe to toe with them and scored two really good goals.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like this is the best football we have played since I have been at Livingston. If we have the belief, energy and togetherness, hopefully it will turn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cristian Montano’s wee boy was half right when he gave him a Saturday morning predictionCristian Montano celebrates his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[2817,132060,218,73958,8058,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-340283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-celtic-fc","tag-david-martindale","tag-football","tag-livingston-fc","tag-scottish-premiership","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766975890_116_0_Livingston-v-Celtic-William-Hill-Premiership.jpg\")
