Celtic return to Parkhead on Sunday afternoon as they take on Kilmarnock.
The Hoops return to domestic action following a fine result on Thursday evening against Rennes in their opening Europa League group match.
Ryan Christie’s converted spot-kick earned the Bhoys a well deserved point on their travels, in a match where they were the stronger side.
Dubious refereeing and dramatic opponents made it a frustrating night, for on any other day, the visitors would’ve returned home with all three points.
Albeit, the result is still a fantastic one for Neil Lennon’s men, continuing their strong start to the season.
Domestically, the Hoops couldn’t be in better shape with five wins from five and 18 goals scored, the most recent being a 1-0 dispatching of Hamilton Academical.
Sunday’s opoonent, Kilmarnock, have caused a bit of trouble for the Parkhead side in recent times but they’ve yet to find the form they discovered under former manager Steve Clarke this season.
As well as Clarke’s departure for the national team post, Killie have lost Jordan Jones, Kris Boyd and of course, Greg Taylor, amongst others this summer.
Taylor looks set to make his Celtic debut against his former employers, with Boli Bolingoli sitting out after picking up an injury against Rennes.
Taylor will be more than aware of what he is facing and will know there’s one Scotsman in particular he and his teammates will need to keep an eye on.
EAMONN BROPHY
The 23-year-old spent eight years in Celtic’s youth system before being shown the exit door for being too small.
Now, the striker will be looking to continue to show the Hoops what they could’ve had if they’d persevered.
He’s been a threat for the Ayrshire side in recent outings against the Champions but has struggled to find his goalscoring form this season.
However, the Scottish international is still Killie’s dangerman with his experience, pace and skill invaluable to this shaken Kilmarnock side.
Celtic should find this game comfortable enough, but if any counters disappear dangerous, Brophy will be in and around the action.
