Celtic will look to continue their unbeaten start to the 2023-24 Scottish Premiershipcampaign when they travel to face Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers' side cruised to a 4-1 win over Hibs in midweek to keep their eight-point lead over Rangers at the top of the table. The Bhoys will be out for Rugby Park revenge after Kilmarnock dumped them out of the League Cup in August.
Killie have lacked consistency in the first half of the campaign, but they picked up three points in midweek after defeating Aberdeen 1-0 away from home. That has left them sitting inside the top six, seven points clear of the drop zone, and a positive run through the festive period could go a long way towards helping them propel up the table.
