Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Leipzig, Celtic will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Kilmarnock in the Premiership round 12. The Hoops look unstoppable at the moment, eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions and are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the away team will be German forward Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, who scored a brace in the Champions League triumph, while Brendan Rodgers has no fresh injury worries.
The Killie, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Dundee FC. As Celtic crushed Kilmarnock 5-0 in their last meeting at Rugby Park, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Speaking of the home team, both Liam Polworth and Kyle Magennis are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
