MILES DON DAMAGE TO SINK KILLIE
ABERDEEN came from behind for a 2-1 victory to ensure they remain second in the Scottish Premiership – after a helping hand from Kilmarnock.
Miles Addison was to blame as substitutes Jayden Stockley and Peter Pawlett struck in the final seven minutes yesterday.
Killie led when Rory McKenzie’s 41st-minute strike handed caretaker boss Lee McCulloch (above) the perfect start.
But hesitant defending and mistakes from Addison twice, gifted Aberdeen the points and a 13th straight win over Kilmarnock.
Managerless Rangers crashed 2-1 for a first defeat at Dundee since 1992.
Mark O’Hara and Kevin Holt struck in the first half against a woeful Gers side.
Joe Garner hit back after the break but it wasn’t enough to save Rangers.
Celtic’s lead might have been cut to 24 points but it’s a matter of when rather than if they are crowned champions after Saturday’s 2-0 win over Motherwell.
Moussa Dembele and James Forrest netted for the Hoops in the first half.
And, with a far superior goal difference, runaway leaders Celtic could seal a sixth straight title with just five more wins.
Motherwell leaked seven goals at Aberdeen last time out and boss Mark McGhee hoisted the white flag.
He said: “Given Celtic’s recent form, in the scheme of things, it’s not a bad performance and not a bad result.”
