Input: What was that John Collins was saying about Celtic not being punished for their lapses in Scottish football? At the end of an utterly breathless, manically see-sawing match, Kallum Higginbotham delivered the only riposte that truly matters within the debate that has dominated recent days. Three minutes remained at Rugby Park. Emilio Izaguirre had felled Greg Kiltie to provide the opportunity for Kilmarnock – previously bereft of form – to level from the penalty spot. Higginbotham did so with additional cheek. Or perhaps we should call it cleverness. His dink down the middle over the diving Craig Gordon – a Panenka to those of a golden vintage, Andrea Pirlo v Joe Hart to the younger generation – completed the scoring and emphatically made a point in more ways than one.A late Kallum Higginbotham penalty gave Kilmarnock a draw against CelticLeigh Griffiths handed Ronny Deila's side an early lead at Rugby ParkJohn Collins questioned if Scottish teams are clever enough to hurt Celtic
