Celtic 9 - 0 Kilmarnock, Parkhead
Jim Jefferies had billed this match as a coming of age for his team, the
match where they would show that they could live with the best teams in
the SPL. Unfortunately for the Kilmarnock boss, the best have got a lot
better and Celtic ripped his side to pieces in ninety minutes of some of
the most electrifying football you will ever see.
Pinilla was the main
protagonist, bagging a brilliant hat trick and deservedly claiming the
Man of the Match award. The Chilean striker has visibly grown in
confidence and stature this year, following his move from Hearts. Braces
from McGeady and Pato, as well as goals for Davies and Figueroa
completed the rout.
