Result: Kilmarnock 3-3 Celtic

Neil Lennon's Celtic fought back from a three-goal deficit to claim a share of the spoils against Kilmarnock this afternoon.

Goals from Dean Shiels, Paul Heffernan and James Fowler had given hosting Killie a healthy advantage heading into the break at Rugby Park.

However, Celtic frontman Anthony Stokes added two goals in the space of three second-half minutes to hand Lennon's side hope.

It looked as though Killie were going to hold onto their advantage until ten minutes from time when visiting full-back Charlie Mulgrew headed in from close range.

The draw leaves Celtic some 12 points behind league leaders Rangers after ten matches.
