Kilmarnock will barely believe this outcome. Their approach was brave, intriguing and full of desire. Two up top, and prepared to go man-to-man against Celtic's three-pronged strike force. It worked so well. Celtic just couldn't build pressure as the home side continually probed at them, giving their backline no respite.

CALLUM MCGREGOR AND Nicolas Kuhn continued their goalscoring form to ensure Celtic emerged from a difficult test at Kilmarnock with three points and top spot in the Scottish Premiership. McGregor’s cross drifted into the net in first-half stoppage-time and Kuhn sealed a 2-0 victory at Rugby Park when he finished from a tight angle in the 71st minute.
