Byline: SCOTT McDERMOTT
paper bag printing ROBBIE KEANE was signed to save Celtic's season. Simon Ford reckons he might just have salvaged Kilmarnock's campaign instead.
The Irishman's arrival on loan from Spurs sparked a Parkhead fanfare last week, 24 hours before the striker made his SPL debut at Rugby Park.
Ford and Co managed to ruin Keane's big night by beating Tony Mowbray's men 1-0 - a result that left Celtic trailing leaders Rangers by 10 points.
The big defender was outstanding for the Ayrshire men as Chris Maguire's goal sealed the points and gave Jimmy Calderwood's side a two-point cushion at the foot of the table.

As he prepared for his side's crucial midweek clash against Falkirk, Ford said: "Robbie signing for Celtic lifted us for the game. We didn't want it to be the Keane show.
Pressure "He's a great player and we knew what he was capable of but he probably helped lift our game to another level.
"Beating a Celtic team with internationals like Keane in it makes you believe you can beat anyone and hopefully that will help us for the rest of the season.
"We need to get out of the position we're in at the moment.
"But the Old Firm games are easy in terms of the pressure on you. It's the matches against sides in the bottom half of the table that are more difficult.
"In those games you need to be braver and we'll need to be that against Falkirk.
"There's no point beating Celtic then losing at Falkirk. This is a huge match for us. They're below us in the table and we want to push away from them.
"Mentally it's important to create a gap at the bottom. Then we won't have to concern ourselves with what's behind us, only with what's in front of us."
