Fixture: Celtic vs Kilmarnock
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 15:00 UK time
Celtic have confirmed their team to lock horns with Kilmarnock in a Scottish Premiership clash at Celtic Park this afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers knows his side are now involved in a real scrap with Rangers for the title and both teams have 61 points and a goal difference of plus 40.
Celtic have lost twice against Kilmarnock this season, once in the league and once in the Scottish League Cup, but crucially, both losses came away from Celtic Park.
Kilmarnock have to go all the way back to 2012 to find their last win over Celtic at the ground.
Joe Hart is in goal for Celtic today, while at the back Rodgers goes with Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor as a four.
In midfield, Celtic field Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley and Luis Palma, while Daizen Maeda also starts. Adam Idah and Kyogo Furuhashi carry the attacking threat.
If Rodgers needs to change things he can look to his bench, where his options include Nicolas Kuhn and Paulo Bernardo.
