The Staggies boss admitted his side did well to avoid a hiding from the Scottish champions.
But the Ross County manager hailed his side for avoiding losing nine. The fourth official’s board showed six extra minutes before the interval but Celts struck in the seventh after Staggies had held firm despite James Brown’s early red card.
Mackay was fuming about the time but delighted his side refused to allow the afternoon to turn messy. He said: “We had a mountain to climb when we go to ten men. James apologised but he didn't see him. He came from his blind side so you can’t say too much to him. “Lose a man against Celtic when they’re playing well and it could have been six or seven and it has been in the past.
