It's not exactly a gaping wound but Erik Sviatchenko is definitely sporting the damage of Saturday afternoon's mad celebrations.

A 0-0 draw at Kilmarnock looked nailed on for Celtic when Tom Rogic spun his marker and let fly with a piledriver of a left-footed strike that delivered a vital three points to the Hoops in this, a Scottish Premiership season that is tighter than most.
Fans joined in in the excited revelry and the mayhem was such that Sviatchenko was caught with a wayward elbow to the eye. It split him open but the defender hasn't been complaining too much as, in all fairness, it is just a scratch. Sviatchenko proudly showed off his battle scar on Twitter and his new fans were only delighted to see the fruits of his labour. https://twitter.com/eriksviat/status/711211514515038209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
