To allow such celebration in football is one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen kilmanock manager Neil McCann dismantled SFA in must-watch rant

What a beautiful Sunday that was in Ayrshire.
Celtic have broken Kilmarnock’s hearts with yet another last-minute win; their third in a row, no less.
Julian Araujo was the man of the moment, picking the best possible moment to score his first goal in Hoops and sending the away end into absolute overdrive.
Martin O’Neill’s substitutes made the difference once again. Sebastian Tounekti’s absolute stunner set the ball rolling, and though they had to survive more scares, Celtic found a way to win again.
So what does Neil McCann make of it? The east end of Glasgow is dying to know…
McCann admitted that he was gutted after the game, taking a pop at the added time.
He said: “I’m angry, aye, of course I am. I’m so disappointed, because I truly believe that we deserved something from the game.
“Clearly, Celtic are going to come at us in the second half, made lots of substitutions and put us right under pressure, but I still felt that we were right in the game
“It’s taken a bit of brilliance from Tounekti to get them back in the game.
“The second goal? I mean… it’s so disappointing. We lost three goals against St Mirren where it’s just second balls bouncing in the box, and we didn’t deal with it.
“But the last one’s sore, it’s clear, because it’s right at the end of the game. There’s a minute left.
“I’m not quite sure where they got seven minutes from. I think they just make it up these days. But nonetheless, we still have to manage that.
That’s what I’m most angry about. I’d have been disappointed coming off with a point, to be honest. I have to be completely honest.
“But the anger comes from not seeing that out and getting at least a point.”
Wins simply don’t come sweeter than that.
Celtic have pulled off a classic comeback at Rugby Park, fighting from behind to win yet another game in dramatic circumstances.
In a dreadful first-half, the Hoops fell 2-0 behind, and simply didn’t get playing until after the break – at which they made three changes.
Sebastian Tounekti got the comeback rolling, but the man of the moment was Julian Araujo, who popped up in the 97th minute to seal the three points.

It was Araujo’s first goal for Celtic, and what a time to get it.
Filling in for the injured Alistair Johnston, he has firmly established himself as the team’s undisputed first-choice right-back.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Araujo was buzzing, admitting that he didn’t have the time to realise how big a moment his goal was.
He said: “Yeah, this is what’s Celtic’s about. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to get minutes and continue to play.
“Obviously, it was a long, a long journey, a long start of my season, but I’m grateful for this moment.
I put myself in the positions to live for moments like this, and I’m grateful for my teammates because they welcome me with open arms, and, you know, to them, we are where we are now.
“I don’t score many goals! So my only thought was just hit it hard, and, uh, I mean, I was only, like, five feet away from the goal.
“So, you know, I just put some power to it, and hopefully, it got past the goalkeeper.”
