Robbie Keane's Celtic debut went spectacularly awry as Tony Mowbray's reign hit a new low with the club's first defeat to Kilmarnock in 32 meetings.
On-loan Tottenham striker Keane missed two golden opportunities to score in either half and he was upstaged shortly after the break by Chris Maguire, who celebrated his own debut with a fine winner for Killie.
The 1-0 result left Celtic 10 points behind Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, but now having played the same number of games, while also giving their opponents' survival hopes a massive shot in the arm.
Also tonight in the SPL, a superb strike from Colin Healy gave strugglers Falkirk a welcome 1-0 win over lacklustre Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The Irishman smashed the ball into the top corner on 31 minutes to give the Bairns a deserved win over the Dons, who offered little in attack.
Eddie May's side should have put the game beyond doubt but squandered a number of chances in the second half, however they held on for all three points to lift themselves off the bottom of the table.
