Celtic beat Kilmarnock 1-0 to restore four-point lead

Celtic beat Kilmarnock 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership to restore their four-point lead at the top. Liam Scales scored in the 26th minute, heading in Camilo Duran's cross to give his side the win. Celtic are preparing for the international break after winning their last two matches in a row.

The home side had a frustrating day in front of goal. Kasper Hogh's opening goal was ruled out after a VAR review. Kilmarnock were given a free kick because of Mika Baur's challenge on Greg Kiltie. Benjamin Nygren missed a penalty in the second half. Hogh's goal drought has now extended to 16 matches.

Kilmarnock created good chances in the first half. Tom Lowery forced Sam Johnstone into two saves. In stoppage time, Ieuan Owen could not reach Erik Ring's cross, and Celtic held on to their win. Having failed to win any of their last four matches, the Rugby Park side are sitting bottom of the table.
