Kilmarnock vs Celtic Prediction
Kilmarnock are on course to make the Championship playoff. Continental qualification could also be on the cards if they maintain their current trajectory. They were also responsible for Celtic's early ouster in the Scottish League Cup on the defending champions' most recent visit to their stadium.
Celtic, for their part, have had a relatively poor campaign by their standards, but Brendan Rodgers' side remain eight points clear of Rangers at the summit. The capital side are the firm favourites but will be wary of the threat posed by their hosts, having lost here in August.
Nevertheless, expect the visitors to claim maximum points with a comfortable win.
