Match Preview for Kilmarnock vs Celtic

Kilmarnock: Sitting eighth in the Premiership standings, Kilmarnock have had a mixed start to their campaign with a record of 3-3-5. Despite scoring consistently, they have struggled defensively, conceding 23 goals in 11 matches. Their victory over Rangers showcased their resilience, but they will need to tighten up defensively to stand a chance against an in-form Celtic side.

Celtic: Top of the table with nine wins from ten games, Celtic are on a remarkable run, boasting a league-best 29 goals scored and only three conceded. The Hoops secured a 2-0 win over Dundee in their last league outing and triumphed over Leipzig in Europe, further underlining their form. Manager Brendan Rodgers will look to extend their unbeaten streak and maintain their lead over rivals Aberdeen.
