Kilmarnock v Celtic: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Kilmarnock have only managed one home league win all season but it did come last time out against Rangers, so Derek McInnes and his side have a chance for an Old Firm double when Celtic visit Ayrshire.

Getting their hands on that second Glasgow scalp won't be easy, with the Bhoys having conceded just three goals in 10 Scottish Premiership games so far.

The visitors are sure to be confident after taking care of RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, but they will be wary heading to Rugby Park, where they have lost on two of their last three visits.

Kilmarnock v Celtic betting tips and predictions

Celtic -1 @ 5/6

Celtic are utterly dominant domestically this season, with only Aberdeen able to halt their progress so far.

The Dons fully merited a 2-2 draw at Parkhead last month, but they were tossed aside at Hampden Park last weekend in a 6-0 League Cup semi-final rout as Brendan Rodgers' side delivered a statement win.

After their own humbling in Dortmund at the start of October, the Hoops have responded wonderfully well.

They have five wins and two draws since, that 2-2 with the Dons joined by a thoroughly welcome stalemate in Bergamo against Atalanta.

The three most recent of those wins have all come by more than one goal and they should have clearing sailing distance between themselves and Killie come full-time here.

Rugby Park, complete with artificial surface, has not always been a happy hunting ground for Celtic lately, but they dished out a 5-0 beating to the home side on their most recent visit and should record a smooth Sunday success here.

Adam Idah first goalscorer @ 15/4

Interestingly in that 5-0 win in May, Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah got the nod to start ahead of Kyogo Furuhashi in the middle of the Celtic attack.

He was then a loanee from Norwich City and Idah would open the scoring. He completed his permanent move to Glasgow in the summer for big money, but has largely remained as understudy to the Japanese talisman.

The surface at Killie may be looked on as more conducive for Idah, who might get to start once more at this venue.

His opportunities have been limited, but he's already netted five times and could be the man to get Celtic up and running.

Over 7.5 Celtic corners @ 1/1

The over/under corner market for this game is set at 10.5, with the odds-on side favouring overs.

The last three meetings between these two here have produced 11, 14 and 12 corners.

Celtic's input into those totals has been nine, nine and eight, so the visiting side are underestimated to breach the 7.5 corners market at 1/1.

The champions had 10 at Motherwell recently and nine in their previous Premiership away-day at Ross County, while it was 13 at St Johnstone before that and 10 at St Mirren.

Hibs away in August is the only league assignment in five on the road that they haven't gone over 7.5 corners.
