Wakaso did really well down the left wing and sent over a beautiful cross. Scepovic peeled off to the far post and sent a lovely right footed volley into the far corner leaving Brennan wrong footed.<\/p>\n
Celtic progressed to the lofty height of fourth following today\u2019s 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock at Celtic Park. The match played in appalling wind and rain was evenly balanced until Killie\u2019s Pascali was red carded ten minutes before the end of the first half after a silly challenge on Scepovic who was bearing down on goal.<\/p>\n
The biggest surprise pre-match, pleasant from this supporters perspective, was Ronny Deila deciding to play Guidetti and Scepovic in a two man strike force. This is the first time he\u2019s started with two central strikers all season and hopefully the penny has dropped he can do this in the SPFL.<\/p>\n
The opening fifteen minutes saw Killie playing the better football. They passed the ball around well and while not having a direct threat on Gordon\u2019s goal their pressure led to a number of corners thanks to some good football. Celtic finally woke up and had a great chance when a lovely cross from McGregor was inch perfect for Wakaso but he could only aim his powerful header straight at Brennan.<\/p>\n
Scepovic then showed clever number 9 play when he cushioned the ball from his chest straight into the path of McGregor who dawdled on the ball rather than pull the trigger. The ball broke back to the Serbian striker and his effort was cleared off the line. The attack wasn\u2019t over and Guidetti struck a ferocious shot that was well saved again by Brennan.<\/p>\n
Killie regrouped and once more were passing the ball well but their game plan came unstuck following Pascali\u2019s sending off. Celtic won the ball in their own half with McGregor breaking forward through the middle. The benefit of having two strikers became clear as Killie\u2019s central defence was stretched. Guidetti went left and Scepovic right leaving McGregor good options before playing a delightful pass to the inside right channel for Scepovic. With the striker clean through on the edge of the penalty area Pascali stupidly brought him down and Collum was left with no choice but send the player off. This was just as well as on another day would done something silly to add to his silliness list like having afternoon tea on the pitch with the Killie defender.<\/p>\n
From the resultant free kick Guidetti stepped up and fired a beautiful striker over the wall and into the far corner.<\/p>\n
A super strike from the super Swede. I\u2019ve been dying to say super Swede for years. God bless you Henrik. Thank you John Guidetti!<\/p>\n
The second half was a canter as ten man Killie struggled to make an impact as Celtic retained possession and looked to stretch the game at every opportunity to drag their opponents across the pitch. Chances were made with Scepovic and Johansen efforts both being saved by Brennan and then the keeper thankful for the post keeping Guidetti\u2019s shot out.<\/p>\n
