Celtic 1 Kilmarnock 0 LIVE as Kyogo heads Brendan Rodgers' side into the lead

Celtic have already suffered defeat twice to Kilmarnock this season but can't afford a third with the Scottish Premiership title race.

Derek McInnes has twice put one over Brendan Rodgers and another would give him a fourth career victory over the Irishman.

But the Ayrshire side's two triumphs came at Rugby Park this season - in the Viaplay Cup and the league - and the task facing them is clearly much bigger at the home of the champions.

However, McInnes has his men motoring this season as they sit in fourth spot in the Premiership and a place in the Scottish Cup quarter finals to look forward to next month.

Celtic have won eight of their last nine games, the only blip in that impressive run a draw away to Aberdeen, but have Rangers breathing down their neck at the top of the table.
