Alistair Johnston still can't believe that Cameron Carter-Vickers' piledriver for Celtic against Kilmarnock on Saturday wasn't intended to be a cross.
The American drove forward into opposition territory and unleashed a fine effort from range into the top-left corner to put his side 3-0 up in a match they went on to win 5-1.

Celtic's Cameron Carter-Vickers reveals his plans for watching Aberdeen vs Rangers
Carter-Vickers likely won't score a better goal in his career, although his teammate Johnston doesn't think he was even shooting in the first place.

Celtic can secure the Scottish Premiership title this afternoon if Rangers lose to Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Alternatively, if Barry Ferguson's men avoid defeat, the Parkhead side could be crowned champions in the first round of post-split fixtures, which take place on the weekend of April 26/27.
Brendan Rodgers won't be too glued to Aberdeen vs Rangers today: "I don’t know, I probably won’t (watch it), in all fairness, but it was important for us to do our job," he said.
"We’ll see what the split brings and then take it from there. I think any time you get over the line, it is. I’m still frustrated it’s not today. If I’m honest. But we can’t do anything about that now.
"We’ve done everything we could do. And whenever and if it comes, we have to be ready for it. We’ve obviously got the Scottish Cup semi-final, so we’re arriving to that in a great place.
"We can only do our job. If Aberdeen win, then brilliant. Whoever wins the league is always deserving champions."
