The second-half stats don't make for good reading for Brendan Rodgers.

Uh oh, Callum McGregor is limping.
He seems fine to continue at the moment. Perhaps it's one he can run off.

Celtic have had to put in a few crucial headers.
Kilmarnock are asking lots of questions of them.

There's been some chat at the break about that first-half Alistair Johnston block being made with his hand.
Hmm, I'm really not sure. At worst it probably hits him at the T-shirt line everyone seems to talk about.
