Celtic travel to Kilmarnock for matchday two of the new Scottish Premiership season on Sunday, with the game taking place away from home.
The reigning champions kicked off their title defence with a tight but controlled 1-0 win over Dundee at Celtic Park on Monday evening. Midfielder Benjamin Nygren scored the solitary goal that secured the three points.
That victory stretched Celtic’s strong domestic run to eight straight Scottish Premiership wins. The Hoops have also had the upper hand historically in this matchup, claiming victory in each of their last four trips to Rugby Park.
Celtic team news
Heading to Rugby Park, Celtic will cope with notable absences both on the field and possibly in the dugout.
Defender Liam Scales is unavailable as he serves the last game of a two-match disciplinary ban.
Up front, Jota has returned to light training after a lengthy ACL layoff but still needs several weeks before he can be considered for competitive action.
Additionally, manager Martin O’Neill might be absent from the touchline following a minor hospital procedure earlier in the week; assistant coach Shaun Maloney is ready to take charge from the bench if needed.
Despite these interruptions, the champions possess a deep and talented squad. New signing Kasper Høgh is expected to start, helping to preserve the visitors’ tactical intensity.
