Jim Jefferies had no complaints about the result as his Kilmarnock side lost 3-0 at Celtic.

The Hoops ran were comfortable winners at Celtic Park, although Jefferies revealed that skipper Kevin Kyle admitted he should have scored a hat-trick with three headed chances in which he failed to hit the target.

"Celtic started the game unbelievably well and they would have beaten most teams on that performance," the Killie boss said.

"They could have been out of sight.

"We didn't get near them, when we got the ball we lost it too quickly but football is a funny game and Kevin Kyle thinks he should have had a hat-trick.

"At 2-0 he could have made it 2-1 and we could have had a lift."
