All the latest from around Scottish football after another weekend of Scottish Premiership action.

Neil Lennon insists retaining the Premiership title is still “a million miles” away for Celtic despite increasing their lead at the top of the table to 12 points.

Celtic will post a notable success if the Premiership leaders continue their current winning league run when facing Kilmarnock this afternoon.

To Celtic’s Ryan Christie falls the honour of being the first from a Scottish team to be fingered by VAR. We’ve watched English sides and players be done by their armpits, their big toes and the hair of their chinny chin chins. We’ve seen referees down south wimp out of decisions and refer them to a truck full of TV monitors in an industrial estate in west London. This isn’t VAR, it’s VAN. It’s football officialdom abrogating responsibility.

That was entirely deliberate says the 26-year-old.

Celtic gained an immediate advantage on defending champions Glasgow City as a goal deep into time added on by captain Kelly Clark gave them all three points at the

Anniversaries can be a reason for celebration and reflection but Neil Lennon will have time for neither on Wednesday.
