ALEX DYER insists Kevin Clancy killed Kilmarnock’s chance of causing a Parkhead upset when he sent off Alan Power.
The Killie boss was furious at the referee’s decision to dismiss the midfielder with the score at 2-1.
Power was booked on the stroke of half-time for a challenge on Ryan Christie.
And on 57 minutes he was cautioned for the second time for a lunge on Jeremie Frimpong.
Television replays suggest the Irishman was harshly treated with Dyer less than impressed by the call.
Dyer said: "I didn't think it was a second yellow to be honest.
"He tried to tackle the lad, the lad went down but I don't think it was a second yellow.
"It kills you when you go down to 10 men against a side like Celtic you are always going to be up against it.

"It kills you when you go down to 10 men against a side like Celtic you are always going to be up against it.
But we battled through, worked hard and tried our best to stay in the game as much as we could and like I said I have a decent side who have a lot of character.”
