Johnny Kenny was a surprise name on the team sheet tonight as Celtic lost 2-1 Dunfermline in the SPFL Trust Cup tonight at East End Park.

The striker has been out on loan at Queens Park this season but the rules of the competition allow him to be recalled for cup action.

Dunfermline found themselves leading by 2-0 after 26 minutes thanks to goals from Taylor Sutherland and Nkolay Todov.

Kenny, who has started two Championship matches and came off the bench eight times, pulled a goal back in the 36th minute to give the hoops a lifeline going into the second half.

Celtic used five substitutes after the break but played the last 10 minutes with 10 men after Dylan Corr was injured with no more subs available.

DUNFERMLINE: 20 Max Little 27 Sam Young 15 Sam Fisher 12 Rhys Breen 5 Chris Hamilton (c) 6 Kyle Macdonald 26 Matthew Todd 28 Andrew Tod 8 Joe Chalmers 29 Taylor Sutherland 10 Nikolay Todorov

CELTIC: Oluwayemi: Murphy (Dede 65), Otoo, Corr, Robertson; Kelly (Frame 82), Thomson (Turley 73), Quinn (Dawson 73); Letsosa, Kenny, Davidson

SUBS: Clarke, Easton, Cummings
