Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Killie have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Celtic's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Kilmarnock see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 29 points from their 27 games played so far, Celtic sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 60 points from their 27 games.
