Julian Araujo’s stoppage time winner put the pressure on Hearts and Rangers before they played in the evening game.

That is the third game in a row that Martin O’Neill’s side have left it until the end to find the winner and it is a sign of the mentality he has instilled into the squad.

Those are the sort of games you look back on if you go all the way and remember as the moment you won the league.

Showing that sort of resilience is what champions do, and that was the buzzword among supporters at full time.

“That’s why we are champions,” commented one fan.

Another wrote: “Never give up till final whistle.”

This person said: “If I have to endure another 90 minutes like that I’ll need one of those wee defibrillator boxes in my living room…”

A fourth person added: “Celtic never give up.”

One down, four to go for Celtic

Some Celtic fans believe that maximum points can be achieved from the Hoops’ next five games.

They’re a fifth of the way to achieving that after beating Kilmarnock, but still face tough tests.

This also has to be balanced with Europa League and Scottish Cup commitments and ensuring that they make progression on those fronts too.
