Celtic return to domestic action this afternoon (Sunday) when they travel to Rugby Park to take on Kilmarnock (KO: 3pm).

There is a debut for new Bhoy, Sebastian Tounekti, with the Tunisian internationalist having joined the club from Hammarby last month.

Uruguayan Marcelo Saracchi makes his first start, having come on as a substitute in the recent Glasgow derby at Ibrox, while Mikel-Ange Balikwisha continues in the starting XI. Striker Kelechi Iheanacho is named amongst the substitutes.

And with Anthony Ralston ruled out through injury, 19-year-old Colby Donovan is set to slot in at right-back, in what is his first start.
