Three Celtic players made it into the BT Sport Team of the Week selected by Chris Sutton and Darrell Currie.
It was heavy going for the hoops on the plastic pitch at Kilmarnock which is reflected by the inclusion of Dedryck Boyata and Jonny Hayes in the side alongside match-winner Scott Brown.

Boyata stood firm when Kilmarnock put Celtic under pressure and had a hand, or head, in the dramatic winning goal when the ball was cleared to Brown. Hayes was the Man of the Match for many Celtic fans as he covered his defensive duties efficiently and pushed forward to support Scott Sinclair at all times. Stephen O’Donnell was the only Kilmarnock player included in the #TOTW with Dundee boss Jim McIntyre chosen to boss the side.
Brown’s last gasp goal, with a huge assist from the arm of Kilmarnock substitute Alex Bruce sent Celtic eight points clear at the top of the SPFL table with 12 games left to play.
Next weekend Brendan Rodgers’ side are again involved in the last match with Motherwell, on the back of a six match winning run,providing the opposition at Celtic Park.
