Kilmarnock 2 Celtic 3 - Hoops stage stunning second half fightback to snatch three points

Julian Araujo was the stoppage time hero as Celtic battled back from two goals down to leave Kilmarnock on the floor.

The Mexican right-back arrived at the back post to hammer in a winner and spark bedlam in the Rugby Park away end after Sebastian Tounekti and Benjamin Nygren had cancelled out Killie's first-half lead.

Neil McCann's resurgent team had made life perilously difficult for the champions with Tyreece John-Jules curling them in front with a stunner.

Kasper Schmeichel then found himself lobbed by a Joe Hugill header, before Martin O'Neill rung in the changes at the break with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tomas Cvancara and Tounekti all introduced.

The changes had an impact. First Tounekti curled in a peach before Nygren fired home from close range to level it up. But it looked as if it was too little, too late.

That was until Araujo, deep into seven minutes of stoppage time, converted at the back post to keep the title challenge alive in the final seconds.
