KILMARNOCK manager Alex Dyer had no complaints about the manner of the defeat last night as Celtic ran out comfortable winner in Ayrshire.
The Rugby Park side thumped Queen’s Park 6-0 at the weekend on Scottish Cup duty but their recent run of poor league form continued against Neil Lennon’s side.
“I thought we played well against a good side but we made some mistakes,” said Dyer, who said he had missed the touchline incident involving Leigh Griffiths and a Kilmarnock supporter. “Celtic are top of the league and it was
difficult for us, but we played some good football.
“However, you get punished when you make individual mistakes against a team like Celtic.
“The boys are working hard but it’s always a bonus when you beat teams like that.”
Dyer will look to rouse his side now ahead of their trip to McDiarmid Park to face St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon, with the Perthshire side, who lost to Livingston last night, able to draw level with Killie on points with a win.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
