Tensions were running high at Rugby Park today as Celtic beat Kilmarnock 1-0 with a last-gasp goal.

Scott Brown volleyed home a deflected winner in the dying stages, after Kirk Broadfoot was sent off for a rash challenge on the Celtic captain 15 minutes earlier.

The 33-year-old midfielder was then dismissed himself after his exuberant celebrations with the travelling Hoops fans following the goal resulted in a second yellow card.

Paris Saint-Germain loanee Timothy Weah came on the final 13 minutes and did his bit.

The 18-year-old seems to have really bought into everything that Celtic are about since joining the Scottish Premiership leaders, and what he did at full time has Bhoys fans smitten.

Weah, son of the iconic George Weah, indulged in a touch of triumphalism and celebrated in front of Killie players after the final whistle, before getting into a pushing match with Jordan Jones.

And suffice to say that fans of the Parkhead club are absolutely loving his passion.

The fact that Jones will officially become a Rangers player this summer only heightened the feel-good sense that he evoked in Celtic supporters.

Consequence of the win, Brendan Rodgers’s side moved eight points clear of their Old Firm rivals at the summit.
