Following on from Celtic assistant manager John Collins’ remarks last week that other Scottish teams aren’t “clever enough players or quick enough thinkers to punish us”, lowly Kilmarnock proved to be both clever and quick enough to secure a 2-2 draw with the Hoops at Rugby Park on Wednesday night.
However, the Glasgow giants did provide one real moment of magic in the game, courtesy of Israeli international Nir Bitton. With the game poised at 1-1 after goals from Leigh Griffiths and Josh Magenni, Bitton stepped up to smash home a long-range howitzer on 55 minutes to put the visitors back in front…
