Neil McCann admitted his ire at Kilmarnock's late collapse against Celtic, as they went from leading the reigning league champions 2-0 to losing in the dying seconds.

The hosts at Rugby Park dominated the first-half, with striker Tyreece John-Jules in particular impressing, before conceding three in the second period that left them empty-handed.

"I'm angry," admitted McCann. "Of course I'm angry. I'm so disappointed because I truly believe that we deserved something from the game.

"It's taken a bit of brilliance from [Sebastian] Tounekti to get them back into the game."

"The second goal, it's so disappointing. We lost three goals against St Mirren, where it was just second balls bouncing in the box and we didn't deal with it."

Benjamin Nygren profited for the second, capitalising on slack Kilmarnock defending from a long throw into the box.

The third came down the left-hand side, with the ball cut back to full-back Julian Araujo who fired home from close range.

"But the last one's the most sore because it's right at the end of the game and there's a minute left.

"I'd have been disappointed coming off with a point, to be honest, but the anger comes from not seeing that out and getting at least a point.

"I'm sitting here thinking I'm absolutely gutted we got nothing from the game."
