Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Aberdeen. During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 17 shots on goal.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a good run of form at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Celtic, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Celtic managed a remarkable 4-1 home win against Hibernian. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 26 strikes at goal, with 12 hitting the target, up against Hibernian's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 19 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Brendan Rodgers will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 17 games in a row.
Hyeon-gyu Oh will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Celtic.
Kilmarnock suffered the disappointment of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Celtic the last time they met in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for The Bhoys in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Kilmarnock in their last 14 meetings together. In their past 5 meetings, Celtic's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Killie will have to take their chances when they come. Playing at home, Kilmarnock have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Celtic. When Celtic are away to Killie in the league, they know how to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 4.33 per game.
Celtic will be looking to continue their winning streak against Kilmarnock, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 13 meetings.
With only Innes Cameron (Hamstring) and Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Derek McInnes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Brendan Rodgers has a number of injury concerns in his Celtic squad to contend with: Liel Abada (Thigh), Reo Hatate (Hamstring), Daizen Maeda (Knee) and James McCarthy (Hamstring)
