Celtic have a twelve point advantage at the top of the table after their first victory at Celtic Park in the New Year, comfortably seeing past Kilmarnock by two goals to nil.
It was a quiet opening to proceedings at Celtic Park with Jota threatening early on but the away side penning in to frustrate Ange Postecoglou's men. The league leaders were loose in their possession before Killie clipped the crossbar and Kyogo netted but his counterpart Jota was offside.
The Portuguese struck just before the whistle after Daizen Maeda was set free on the left and the winger cut in to the six yard to roll the ball home with Kyogo also sliding in. In the second half, the Japanese forward moved with pace in the area to cut across to the near post as his nicked shot clipped off Ash Taylor to give the Hoops a cool two-goal advantage. Celtic continued to press Killie and were unlucky not to make it a trio of goals as all eyes are now on Hampden.
