Celtic reclaim top spot in Scottish Premiership with tough win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park

After securing a spot in the League Cup final and stunning victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League, the Hoops were determined to finish the week strong. Aberdeen's win over Dundee had pushed them to the top of the table, adding even more pressure for Celtic to clinch a crucial victory.

Killie, who have already stunned Rangers this season, were determined and Marley Watkins came agonisingly close to scoring the opener with his shot crashing off the foot of the post.

But, with half-time approaching, Callum McGregor put Celtic in front, his curling cross from outside the box finding its way past Robby McCrorie.

Derek McInnes' side continued to threaten, with Kasper Schmeichel showing his class to deny Matty Kennedy and Brad Lyons before Nicolas Kuhn wrapped up the win when he smashed a shot into the corner to make it four goals in his last three games.

Celtic are ahead of Aberdeen on goal difference, with both teams on 31 points going into the international break, while Kilmarnock remain eighth.
