Kilmarnock will face Celtic at the Rugby Park on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have struggled for results in the league this season and sit eighth in the table with just 12 points from 11 games, four points above Hibernian at the bottom of the pile.

They were beaten 3-2 by Dundee in their last match and had started the game brightly with goals from Bruce Anderson and Matthew Kennedy, handing the Killie a two-goal lead in the first-half before their opponents upped the ante to snatch all three points in the second half.

Celtic, meanwhile, comfortably dispatched Dundee in their last league outing with a 2-0 home win before returning to the Celtic Park days later for a 6-0 dismantling of high-flying Aberdeen. They then built on their strong performances during the week as they picked up a 3-1 comeback win over Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League's League Phase on Tuesday.

The visitors will return to league action this week and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top as the champions continue their hunt for a fourth consecutive Premiership title.

Kilmarnock vs Celtic Prediction

Kilmarnock have lost two of their last three games after going undefeated in their previous six. They have won just one of their seven home games this season and have a difficult test ahead of them this weekend.

Celtic are on a four-game winning streak and are unbeaten in their last seven competitive outings. They are the only side in the Scottish top flight this season with a perfect away record and should extend that streak this Sunday.

Prediction: Kilmarnock 1-3 Celtic
