Celtic will face Kilmarnock at the Celtic Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side have performed well in the league this season and are now targeting a third consecutive Premiership title. They picked up a 2-1 win over Hibernian in their last league outing, with Norwich City loanee Adam Idah scoring from the spot in either half to open his account for the club.
Celtic sit atop the Premiership standings with 61 points from 25 matches. They are level on points with rivals Rangers in second place and will be looking to pull clear with a win on Saturday.
Kilmarnock are also enjoying a solid run of results at the moment and are now pushing for continental football. They beat Livingston 1-0 in their last league outing, with Marley Watkins scoring the game-winner before beating Cove Rangers 2-0 in the Scottish Cup days later.
The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 36 points from 25 games. They will now be looking to continue their strong run of form when they play at the weekend.
