The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, with Celtic inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Killie in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Killie have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Celtic's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Bhoys, and 3 goals against.

Kilmarnock's 46 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Celtic are leading the way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, with their 33 games giving them a return of 78 points.
