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.”
