Celtic starting XI to face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park | OneFootball

Celtic are in league action today (Sunday) when they head to Rugby Park to take on Kilmarnock (KO: 2pm), and Martin O’Neill’s side are aiming for three vital Premiership points.

The manager has made four changes to the side which beat Livingston in midweek, with Kieran Tierney, Reo Hatate, Yang and Junior Adamu all in the starting XI.

Arne Engels misses out through injury, while Wednesday’s late goal hero, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, is named amongst the substitutes.

When the sides met at Rugby Park back in September, the Hoops won 2-1 thanks to goals from Daizen Maeda and a last-minute penalty winner from Kelechi Iheanacho.

And in November, Celtic beat Killie 4-0 at home, with Maeda also on target in that game.

Kick-off at Rugby Park is 2pm and you can follow the build-up and all the action on the club website’s Match Centre.
