There was a bright spell for Kilmarnock just when Starfelt came on. They almost upset him a bit, Lafferty played on him and they worked their way down the right. But nothing came of it, and then Celtic got the fresh legs on and they're in total control now

If Walker was at fault for Jota's goal, he's definitely at fault for this one. Starfelt should have put it away first time but he gets a second bite at the cherry. A really, really sloppy goal for Kilmarnock to lose
