Kilmarnock vs Celtic LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Premiership clash at Rugby Park
Rugby Park has been a venue which has been a challenge to Celtic over the years...but not last time.
No, Brendan Rodgers' side ditched any fears over the plastic as they went goal crazy en rout to a 5-0 route which brought home a 12th title in 13 seasons. The Irishman insists there is no secret to thriving on synthetic surfaces – move the ball quickly and score goals.
And that is what they have been doing all season long. But it would be remiss to doubt the dangers Kilmarnock pose when they are at full pelt. Derek McInnes' side have become the entertainers of Scottish football this side – with most games featuring a dramatic winner or a heartbreaking setback in the dying embers.
