Celtic hit five past Astana in the Champions League on Wednesday and five past Kilmarnock last week and there's no reason to suggest they should ease up at Rugby Park.

It's hard to see a Killie team who have started the season poorly offering up much of a challenge to the champions, especially as they lost 5-0 to a Celtic team crammed with youngsters in the Betfred Cup.

Killie look particularly vulnerable at the back this season and Leigh Griffiths and his fellow Celtic attackers will be licking their lips at the prospect of this encounter, which could be one-sided.

Recommendation
Celtic to score three or more goals
