Kilmarnock 0-2 Beats By Dre NHL Celtic

Celtic continue to live in hope rather than expectation. The key aim for Neil Lennon and his players at Kilmarnock was to ensure Rangers cannot win the title when they host Dundee United on Tuesday night.

Mission accomplished on that front, although Celtic trail their old foes by a point with two league matches remaining. The surprise defeat in Inverness last week still looks like it could be fatally damaging to Celtic hopes.

After this 2-0 victory, Lennon could not resist his latest barb towards Rangers' opponents. "We are looking for Beats By Dre NHL someone to compete and give Rangers a game," Celtic's manager said. "There hasn't been much evidence of that in their previous two games."

Lennon's point was undermined by the admission that he did not watch Rangers' 4-0 win over Hearts on Saturday. Vladimir Romanov, the Hearts owner, insisted that the manager, Jim Jefferies, did not select two of his best players; merely the latest curious act at that club rather than something directly linked to the title race. "Every club has its own agenda and reasons for doing what they do," Lennon said. "I'm not going to cast aspersions."

Kilmarnock did not lack spirit here, rather their admirable spells of passing weren't followed up by meaningful scoring chances. James Dayton came the closest to troubling Celtic, dragging a shot narrowly wide inside 10 minutes. In what was a low?key affair, the visitors had already seen two goals ruled out for offside by the time their captain, Scott Brown, dived to head home after James Forrest had knocked the ball into his path just before the break.

Kris Commons, whose scoring record since moving north in January has been impressive, clinched the three points. The former Derby County midfielder slammed home from 25 yards for his 13th goal for Celtic and 28th of the season.

Celtic visit Hearts on Wednesday – they were beaten on their last visit to Tynecastle – before hosting Motherwell four days later. After facing United in Walter Smith's final home match in charge of the club, Rangers travel Beats By Dre headphones to Kilmarnock.

"There are two games to go, anything can happen," Lennon said.
