Celtic scored a late goal against Kilmarnock to swing the title further in their favour.

The result effectively ended Killie’s fading title hopes, leaving them 14 points behind Celtic.
Kilmarnock forward Eamonn Brophy commented on Twitter after the loss, expressing his dissatisfaction.
He expressed that he felt Kilmarnock deserved at least a point for their efforts.
Kilmarnock have a big game upcoming in the week when they face Rangers at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup.
Both teams saw their title hopes diminish at the weekend, and there is added importance on the midweek clash.
