Celtic Predicted XI: Kilmarnock (A)

Celtic will travel to Rugby Park this Sunday to face Kilmarnock in match-day two of the Scottish Premiership season.

Neil Lennon’s side kicked their 2020/21 campaign off in style last weekend after strolling to a 5-1 home victory over Hamilton Accies.

Odsonne Edouard bagged a stylish hat-trick while Jeremie Frimpong and Patryk Klimala also got involved in the action.

Things didn’t go according to plan for Killie, who slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Jack Ross’ clinical Hibs side. Chris Burke’s pinpoint free-kick just before half-time wasn’t enough to salvage a comeback in Edinburgh.

The champions last met the Ayrshire outfit six months ago and strolled to a 3-1 win at Celtic Park. Killie have failed to beat, or even draw, with the Hoops in their last six attempts; the aggregate score in that time stands at 16-4.

Saying that, no game is ever easy against Alex Dyer’s men.

Here is our predicted XI for this weekend’s fixture.
