Celtic will be looking to pick up maximum points against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon and edge close to winning the league title for the eighth season in a row.

The Hoops are at the top of the league table at the moment with 78 points from 34 matches, as many as nine points clear of second-placed and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers.

A defeat to Killie at home this afternoon will allow Rangers some hope to get back into the title race, but it is hard to see Neil Lennon’s side slip up in the final weeks of the campaign.

This is how Celtic will line up against Kilmarnock at Celtic Park in the Scottish premiership this afternoon:

Meanwhile, Rangers Under-18 manager David McCallum has praised the Celtic youngsters for their performance against his side this week.

Rangers won the Scottish Youth Cup final against Celtic 3-2 at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Thursday evening, and McCallum has praised the Hoops.

McCallum told The Herald: “Credit to Celtic to come out and put us on the back foot and make us defend to get back to 2-2.”
