BREN'S TASTY NACHO HELPS EASE STRIFE

BRENDAN RODGERS praised his Celtic players for maintaining their focus amid supporter unrest to earn a last-gasp 2-1 victory away to Kilmarnock yesterday following a “challenging couple of weeks”.

- 

Debutant Kelechi Iheanacho scored a stoppage-time penalty as the Hoops went back above Hearts at the top of the Premiership, after Killie midfielder David Watson had cancelled out Daizen Maeda's 56th-minute opener for the champions.

It meant Celtic fans were celebrating jubilantly at the end of a match in which half of the travelling support had opted to boycott the opening 12 minutes.
