Kilmarnock will look to get back on course after a thrilling 4-3 win over St. Mirren, but injuries continue to disrupt their plans, with Daniels, Kennedy, and Magennis all sidelined. As Celtic aim to regain top position in the Premiership standings, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-1 away win. The Killie's overall form remains inconsistent (0.80 PPG) and their defence vulnerable, conceding 2.10 goals per match and allowing an xGA of 2.03. Even at home, where they average 1.80 goals scored, they concede almost as many (1.80), leading to a high 60% BTTS rate.
Celtic travel with confidence after a late Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain winner against Livingston, extending their strong run to four straight victories. The Hoops are pushing hard to pressure leaders Hearts and boast an impressive 2.30 PPG overall, rising to 2.50 at home, though their away return of 2.00 remains solid. Their numbers back their dominance: 2.20 goals scored per game, 40% clean sheets, and a strong 2.00 expected goals. Arne Engels is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock, but squad depth remains a key Celtic advantage.
Considering Celtic's recent signs of improvement, expected goals, and H2H dominance, Away Win seems like the best betting option for this Premiership fixture, alongside Celtic Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both sides average 3.30 goals per match).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 15 February 2026 at 14:00.
