Champions Celtic moved 10 points clear in the Scottish Premier League after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Kilmarnock yesterday.

Substitute Kenny Miller slid home the winner after 75 minutes from close range near the right post following a terrific run and low cross from the left by Shaun Maloney.

Kilmarnock substitute Colin Nish had given the home side the lead when he angled a low 15-metre shot under Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc in the 49th minute following a lacklustre first half.

But Celtic's Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura equalised six minutes later with a magnificent 30-metre dipping free-kick from the right that flashed into the net at the far post.

After 12 games Celtic have 31 points while Hearts trail in second spot with 21 after drawing 1-1 at home to Dunfermline on Saturday.

Rangers, who drew 1-1 at home to Motherwell on Saturday, are languishing in third with 19 points.
