Follow the action LIVE as it happens. Celtic are a team that have really had the beating of Kilmarnock in recent years, make no mistake.Bar last season's temporary vacation in the Scottish Championship, Killie had remained in the top-flight for the best part of thirty seasons - although Celtic rarely fell under their axe in that time.The away win in 2012 marked a rare occasion, and a measly five wins in the 21st century has seen the Rugby Park side rarely leave a mark on Celtic's record.
