"O'Neill responded with a triple change at the break, and that soon paid dividends when substitute Sebastian Tounekti cut inside and curled a fine finish past Kelle Roos just before the hour. Kilmarnock then failed to clear a long throw-in in the 64th minute, with Benjamin Nygren on hand to sweep in his 13th league goal this campaign and restore parity."
"Julian Araujo's stoppage-time winner inspired Celtic to a 3-2 comeback victory over Kilmarnock to reignite their Scottish Premiership title hopes. Martin O'Neill's side seemed set to lose further ground in their pursuit of Hearts, until Araujo's 97th-minute finish completed a remarkable turnaround, having trailed by two goals at half-time. The last-gasp victory moved Celtic - who needed another stoppage-time finish from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to see off Livingston on Wednesday - within three points of leaders Hearts."
Julian Araujo scored a 97th-minute winner as Celtic recovered from a two-goal half-time deficit to beat Kilmarnock 3-2, closing to within three points of Hearts. Kilmarnock took a 2-0 lead through Tyreece John-Jules and Joe Hugill in the first half. Martin O'Neill made three changes at half-time, and substitute Sebastian Tounekti reduced the deficit before Benjamin Nygren equalised after a failed Kilmarnock clearance. John-Jules was withdrawn injured after hitting the crossbar from a free-kick. Araujo's late strike prompted chaotic celebrations and earned Celtic a crucial stoppage-time victory.
