- COMPILED BY GORDON PARKS

KILMARNOCK

JAMIE MacDONALD 7 Brilliantl­y shoved Griffiths freekick wide and stunning stop from Boyata but helpless at opener.

STEPHEN O’DONNELL 7 Coped with threat of Sinclair and still found time to support attack.

KIRK BROADFOOT 5 Let Boyata run off him only for the Belgian to blaze over and escaped a penalty shout for a tug on the same player.

STUART FINDLAY 6 Never looks comfortabl­e on plastic surface. Won’t be caring as he nodded in a last-gasp winner.

GREG TAYLOR 5 Slashed a clearance against a post allowing Griffiths to score opener.

CHRIS BURKE 7 Combined with O’Donnell to shut down Celtic’s left channel before first goal for 11 months.

AARON TSHIBOLA 7 Almost scrambled home early effort and a bundle of energy.

ALAN POWER 7 Dynamic ball-winning display as well as providing pass for leveller.

GREG STEWART 6 Dropped off the front to try to add a creative edge to Killie attack.

EAMONN BROPHY 7 His movement and touch caused Celtic problems.

JORDAN JONES 7 Searing pace a constant source of torment for Hoops defence.

Subs: Gary Dicker – helped see out last 10 minutes, 3. Mikael Njoli – added graft and energy, 3. Rory McKenzie – on at death, 1.

CELTIC

CRAIG GORDON 6 Will be disappoint­ed at being beaten from distance by Burke strike and exposed at Killie winner.

MIKAEL LUSTIG 6 Tidy and efficient as he did the simple things well with no frills.

DEDRYCK BOYATA 6 Fortunate only to pick up a booking for taking out Jones.

JACK HENDRY 5 Endured a nervous first half. Lost Findlay at late Killie winner.

KIERAN TIERNEY 6 Crossed for opener but little joy with Sinclair on left flank.

SCOTT BROWN 7 Sat in deep role to provide some much-needed defensive cover.

RYAN CHRISTIE 8 Handed rare start and strong in possession and a driving force.

YOUSSOUF MULUMBU 6 Debut against old club and made a crucial goalline clearance.

MIKEY JOHNSTON 5 Needs to do more when given an opportunit­y to keep jersey.

LEIGH GRIFFITHS 7 Reacted first as goals continue to flow for Celtic’s most instinctiv­e finisher.

SCOTT SINCLAIR 5 An anonymous figure first half and didn’t improve after the break. Hooked in 65th minute.

Subs: Lewis Morgan – added energy into attack, 5. Callum McGregor – never influenced proceeding­s, 3. Odsonne Edouard – little impact of note, 3.

Referee: Craig Thomson.
