What channel is Celtic vs Kilmarnock? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and Scottish Cup team news

It's back to home comforts for Celtic after two away games on the bounce.

The Hoops left it late to get the job done at Ross County on Sunday, then had to rely on a stoppage-time penalty to salvage at point at Dundee three days later. Despite boasting a 13-point lead at the top of the Premiership, Brendan Rodgers' men have just one victory in their last four games on the road, so returning to Parkhead in front of their own fans will be a welcome boost for the Treble-chasers.

Celts begin their defence of the Scottish Cup on Saturday night in an all-Premiership fourth round tie against Kilmarnock. On paper, the hosts will rightly go down as heavy favourites but Derek McInnes might fancy his chances of masterminding an upset, just like he did last year by sending the Hoops crashing out of the League Cup at the first hurdle. Killie find themselves in the bottom end of the table but in a one-off game, anything can happen. Here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the Scottish Cup clash.

Celtic host Kilmarnock at Parkhead on Saturday January 18. Kick-off is at 5:30pm.
