The goal that gave Kilmarnock the lead that was undoubtedly deserved on play was a sore point with Celtic – and Morrison in particular. The only time the back was beaten by Turnbull throughout the match, was when the winger flicked the ball past him with, it seemed to at least one onlooker, his hand and carried on to shoot to the net.
