And breathe, Celtic fans…

Celtic showcased why they are champions of Scotland on Sunday, when they came from 2-0 down to secure all three points against Kilmarnock.

Julian Araujo netted the winner in stoppage time to score his first Celtic goal, having signed under Wilfried Nancy during the January transfer window.

Chris Sutton was at Rugby Park, commentating from the stands, and he was delighted on social media with how Martin O’Neill’s side fought for all three points.

Chris Sutton changes his mind about Celtic under Martin O’Neill

For the third time in a week, Celtic have scored a stoppage-time goal to their benefit, after doing it against Dundee last week in the Scottish Cup and Livingston in the Premiership in midweek.

Some would think that you can’t keep this up, but Sutton has changed his mind because he thinks it’s sustainable.

The simple reason is ‘magic Martin’, who is still unbeaten on the domestic stage after returning to the Celtic Park dugout in October.

“That’s absolutely ridiculous from Celtic,” wrote Sutton.

“How about Araujo? It’s not sustainable to keep scoring late goals, I thought. It is under, magic Martin.

“Such a head scratcher this Celtic team, as at times, they look so average. Good early subs from the manager changed the game.

“Araujo = Bedlam 🍀.”

Now for Stuttgart in the Europa League…

Now attention will turn to Stuttgart on Thursday night, as Celtic aim to progress to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

The Hoops simply can’t start poorly against the German club, as they have done on the domestic stage, or else they will be punished this time.

Either way, what changes should O’Neill make for that first leg play-off clash?
