Celtic left it really late to snatch all three points at Kilmarnock today.
Brendan Rodgers watched Celtic snatch three points from Kilmarnock in the dying seconds of the game after the Parkhead club were awarded a late, late penalty.
Kelechi Iheanacho was brave as he stepped up to slot the penalty home to ensure Celtic beat Kilmarnock to go top of the Scottish Premiership table.
The handball award infuriated Kilmarnock boss Stuart Kettlewell but for Celtic hero Chris Sutton, he only had one question to ask and it was about if his old club would still be in the Champions League after watching Sebastian Tounekti’s performance at Rugby Park.

As Celtic huffed and puffed their way to the 2-1 win, Sutton was blown away by Sebastian Tounekti as the Tunisian made an instant impact on his starting debut.
Sutton said on X, “What a start to his Celtic career by Kelechi Iheanacho. Cool penalty to win it in injury time.
“Tounekti excellent and begs the question what if he’d have been signed pre-Champions League… Kilmarnock brave display.
“Stunning header from Watson to level it. Celtic back top.”
