The match survived the dreadful weather and it was a good day for the champions.
Luis Palma cracked his first home goal as Celtic surged seven points clear at the summit of the Premiership.
But Rodgers’ side stayed calm and sealed the deal when Greg Taylor tapped home his first goal of the season eight minutes from the conclusion. Killie could have no complaints. The Rugby Park side gave everything and worked tirelessly, but were outgunned and punished heavily for mistakes. Palma made it two after a horrendous defensive error in his own half by Joe Wright presented the hosts with possession. After a through pass was blocked, the Honduran curled a fabulous effort into the corner of the net.
Kyle Vassell won a wrestling match with Alistair Johnston to keep a counter-attack alive and Watson slid a finish under Joe Hart after supporting the break. Celtic had to respond and duly did so. Matt O’Riley’s corner was flicked on at the near post by Maeda and Taylor was alone on the six-yard line to knock home the clincher. Here's three talking points from a rain-lashed Parkhead.
