Ahead of Celtic’s league clash away to Kilmarnock, we at Read Celtic will role-play (not that kind) and predict the starting XI.
We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers and will be choosing the starting XI, as well as predicting how the team will line-up on the pitch.
It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.
The Hoops return to league action after their 5-0 win at home to Astana on Wednesday night.
The win means Rodgers’ side have an overwhelming advantage to take to Kazakhstan for the second-leg, and are just one step away from qualifying for the group stages.
The last time Killie faced the Scottish champions was in the League Cup last week, when a young Celtic side cruised to a 5-0 win at Celtic Park.
To understand our prediction, you also need to see the latest team news ahead of the game. Here is our predicted eleven in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Saturday’s early kick-off.
