Celtic 0 Kilmarnock 2:Goals from Cillian Sheridan and Liam Kelly gave Kilmarnock their first win over Celtic at Parkhead for 57 years. Former Celt Sheridan set the visitors on the way to their historic victory two minutes before the break and midfielder Kelly scored the second from the spot just after the hour.
Sheridan capitalised on slack play by Efe Ambrose to race clear and round goalkeeper Fraser Forster before scoring into an empty goal, while Hoops left-back Emilio Izaguirre was adjudged to have fouled Rory McKenzie for the penalty as the Rugby Park men held on for their first success in the east end of Glasgow since 1955.
Neil Lennon’s men had put in a disciplined, battling performance against Barcelona in the Nou Camp in midweek, only to lose the Champions League clash 2-1 in the final seconds of injury-time.
However, this Clydesdale Bank Premier League performance was at the other end of the scale and they were made to pay for their general lethargy which is sure to infuriate their boss, who had lavished praise on his players for their display against Barca.
Celtic remain top but have three clubs breathing down their necks, just two points adrift.
