Killie vs Celtic betting preview
Killie will be buoyed by finally winning away from home in dramatic style in midweek.
Starlet David Watson’s goal in injury-time saw Killie end that losing streak without a win on the road and now they return to Fortress Rugby Park.
They have only one less point at their home ground than Rangers do at theirs, showing how strong a side they are at home.
They did suffer a couple of midweek injuries which could see changes to the line-up, with the subs making a huge impact at Pittodrie.
Celtic maintained their lead at the top of the table by thumping Hibs 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Brendan Rodgers was even able to rest Kyogo, with Oh banging in a brace in the hour he was given.
Celtic have won just two of their last five away matches in all competitions and lost at Rugby Park in the League Cup already this season.

Celtic will be after a quick start but Kilmarnock are likely to take the game to them early too.
There might not be too many goals in this one and Celtic showed at St Johnstone last week there is a bit of a soft centre that could be targeted.
Kyle Vassell’s pace and power is likely to cause problems at the heart of the Celts defence, with Danny Armstrong’s delivery another key factor.
The longer the game goes, depending on those early exchanges, it’s likely Killie will revert back to their defensive shape to see the game out.
There have been four 1-0s and a 0-0 in Killie’s last five games – so don’t hold out for an exciting one!
