Celtic winger Daizen Maeda has put the Hoops 2-0 up against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, with the Hoops looking to seal the Scottish Premiership this evening.
A Reo Hatate through ball cut Kilmarnock apart down the right-hand side, with Alistair Johnston overlapping.
The Canadian right-back was able to put a brilliant cross along the box, with Maeda leaving no doubt as the Japanese international rifled past Kieran O’Hara in the Killie goal in the 11th minute.

Hatate and Johnston certainly played their part in the goal, with Hatate’s vision and Johnston’s final ball a thing of beauty.
The Canadian international has certainly added assists to his game in the second half of the season, with his ability to overlap often going under the radar in favor of his one-vs-one defensive abilities.
