Kilmarnock v Celtic team news for Scottish Premiership showdown

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has named his starting line-up for this afternoon's Scottish Premiership showdown with Kilmarnock.

The reigning title-holders kicked-off the defence of their crown with a narrow 1-0 victory over Dundee on the opening weekend with Benjamin Nygren's 52nd minute effort securing the spoils for the Hoops.

O'Neill has responded by retaining faith with the same starting line-up meaning big money summer signing Kasper Hogh leads the line for a second game in succession with last week's match-winner Nygren also retaining his spot.

For the home side, manager Neil McCann has made two changes to the side that were edged out by St Johnstone in last Saturday's seven goal thriller.

Jamie Brandon and Johnly Yfeko are handed their first starts of the campaign with Ethan Schilte-Brown and Nicky Clescenco dropping down to the bench.
