Martin O'Neill's side knew they had to win to keep pressure on the top two, but goals from Tyreece John-Jules and Joe Hugill meant Celtic were facing an uphill battle in the second 45 if they were to keep their title hopes alive.
But, after goals from Sebastian Tounetki and Benjamin Nygren after an Araujo long throw got Celtic back on level terms.

And up stepped the Mexican on loan from AFC Bournemouth to snatch the points at the death.
He drifted free at the far side of the box and he smashed home from Tomáš Čvančara's cut back, the right back slamming the ball into the top corner.
That sparked wild scenes in the away end as Celtic fans celebrated the winner, with Araujo leaping into the crowd to join them, which earned him a booking.
