Kilmarnock v Celtic: betting preview, TV channel, team news, key stat and tip

TV: Sky Sports Football, 4pm Sunday

Ladbrokes Premiership

Celtic were battered by a classy Valencia side in the Europa League on Thursday but they should come out the traps quickly in Ayrshire.

Brendan Rodgers' side were embarrassed after being completely outplayed by the La Liga team, who showed that if you press Celtic all over the pitch they will make mistakes.

The trouble is that few teams in Scotland are willing or able to do that and the Hoops will be desperate to bounce back and put down a marker at Rugby Park.

Killie have had a tough run in the past month with two games against Rangers and a trip to Aberdeen, and they haven't won in four outings. Celtic could be hard to beat if they get their noses in front early.
