Boss bemoans Celtic display
Kilmarnock manager Mixu Paatelainen was unimpressed by his side's performance but claims they should have held out to record their first win at Celtic in 55 years.
Killie striker Conor Sammon grabbed his 15th goal of the season in the 54th minute to give the visitors a shock lead. Celtic defender Thomas Rogne scored his first goal for the club to level five minutes from the end, but the draw kept Celtic two points behind leaders Rangers having played a game more.
Paatelainen said: "I was disappointed in the way we played, it is the worst we have passed the ball in weeks. The first half was horrendous but we could have done better in the game.
"We scored a good goal and defended solidly afterwards so I felt we should have held on to win the game, but it was bad defending at their goal.
"I felt we should have won the game, not because of the way we played, but we had a lead and we should have defended better. I expected a lot more from us and we passed the ball a little bit better in the second half, but sometimes it goes like that.
"But it shows how dangerous we are when we score a goal like that. It shows how dangerous we are even though we didn't play as well as we could. We scored a goal and to my mind should have held on."
