Celtic - 2 Livingston - 2:SCOTTISH LEAGUE/Premier Division: Henirk Larsson is likely to miss four crucial matches after suffering a double fracture of the jaw yesterday in a 14th-minute collision with Gustave Bahoken.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill said Larsson would undergo immediate surgery and will miss both legs of the UEFA Cup fourth-round tie with Stuttgart plus the Old Firm derbies against Rangers in the league and the League Cup final.
O'Neill added: "I'm not sure about the time, but I'm hoping he'll be back before the end of the season."
Celtic, already missing John Hartson after a midweek clash with O'Neill, were lifted to victory by Shaun Maloney, Larsson's substitute.
Maloney made the most of his chance by taking the two free-kicks from which Momo Sylla and Chris Sutton scored Celtic's comeback goals.
Livingston, with their multinational mixture from Spain, France, Trinidad, Ivory Coast, Australia and Cameroon had taken the lead after 52 minutes through Rolando Zarate.
