Robbie Keane's Celtic debut
turned sour on Tuesday when the Glasgow side were beaten 1-0 at
Kilmarnock to leave them 10 points behind Scottish Premier
League leaders Rangers.
Ireland skipper Keane, signed on loan from Tottenham
Hotspur on Monday, was in the starting line-up along with
fellow new signing Diomansy Kamara, but was left frustrated.
Chris Maguire gave Kilmarnock the lead seven minutes into
the second half and they held on for their first home league
win against Celtic for nine years.
Keane, the former Inter Milan, Leeds United and Liverpool
striker, had several chances to open his Celtic account but was
denied by keeper Cammy Bell.
"It's not the result we wanted," Celtic manager Tony
Mowbray told the BBC. "We needed to hit the ground running with
the new signings, but it didn't quite happen tonight."
