Rugby Park will host this championship group game between Kilmarnock and Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Both teams are off the back of a victory. Which side will replicate that success here?

In that game, Kyle Vassell's lone strike in the 37th minute was the difference, giving them maximum points in that encounter. In the meantime, Kilmarnock lost to Rangers in one prior encounter, while they drew goalless with Hearts. Notwithstanding, Kilmarnock boast of four wins and two draws in their last seven games, with only one game ending in a defeat in that run.

Celtics will be confident of winning the league after a win over rivals, such as the Rangers, over the weekend. Celtic secured a 2-1 win in that game, with goals from Matt O’Riley and 38th-minute own goal by John Lunstram crucial to that victory. In the meantime, Celtic go into this game with a winning run of five games and an unbeaten run of nine. Celtic have accumulated 87 points from 36 games this season, positioning them at the top of the championship group.

In the last meetings between these sides, Celtic won two, while Kilmarnock won two. Their previous meeting in September ended in a 1-1 draw.

Celtic might have some of their top players on the bench here, but this team still has reserves that are at the top level. On the other hand, Kilmarnock have had a good performance in recent games, and this side has threatened Celtic in last meetings. Take the road team to win here, with many goals.
