Kilmarnock battle to an impressive 1-0 Viaplay Cup win over holders Celtic, inflicting a first cup loss for the Glasgow club under Brendan Rodgers.
Despite having just 30% of possession, Derek McInnes' side had the best of the few chances there were.
Watkins started the move that led to the goal with a strong surge down the left and he was in the right place to divert Danny Armstrong's shot across goal into the net.When Celtic substitute Yang Hyun-Jun did get a good glimpse of goal late on, Brad Lyons made a fantastic lunging block. Kilmarnock snapped into tackles and regularly unsettled the visitors' new-look central defensive partnership of Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke, with the Swede making his debut just days after signing.
