5 h. ago Celtic win in added time amid fan protests while Rangers board back Martin

Iheanacho on spot with almost last kick at KilmarnockRangers fans voiced anger after home loss to HeartsThe debutant Kelechi Iheanacho scored a last-gasp penalty as mutinous Celtic fans were left celebrating a 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock that moved them back to the top of the Premiership.After a summer in which the club were widely deemed to have failed to adequately bolster their squad in the summer before crashing out of the Champions League at the hands of Kairat Almaty, angry supporters held a crisis meeting last week and decided to boycott the opening 12 minutes of the Rugby Park fixture. Around half of the travelling fans opted against partaking in the late-entry protest while the others eventually filtered in to witness the remainder of an underwhelming, goalless first half from Brendan Rodgers’ side.

6 h. ago Mohamed Salah on the spot as Liverpool break Burnley hearts in stoppage time

It never felt inevitable that Liverpool were going to emerge from Turf Moor with three points until Mohamed Salah was lining up a 95th-minute penalty. They dominated possession but struggled to break down 10-man Burnley whose organisation and hard work frustrated the visitors until Hannibal Mejbri’s stoppage-time handball gifted the points to the champions.Arne Slot’s side have made a perfect start as they aim to retain the title, a task that should be made easier when he unleashes record £125m Alexander Isak, whose exile was extended by another match but it was not self-imposed on this occasion. With Liverpool lacking conviction in the final third, Isak would have been a welcome addition but, with a fourth straight victory secured, Slot need not worry about that. Continue reading...
