Celtic heads to Rugby Park on Sunday for an important Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock, with the champions looking to stay at the top of the table.

They arrive after winning four straight matches in all competitions, following draws with Bologna and Hearts in late January. During this winning streak, Celtic defeated Utrecht, Falkirk, Dundee, and Livingston.

O’Neill’s team is currently third in the league, holding 51 points from 25 games, six points behind leaders Hearts, but they have a game in hand. The interim manager has had a strong season, claiming victory in 14 of his 17 matches, giving him an 82.3% win ratio.

Celtic team news

There is some uncertainty in midfield, as Arne Engels is doubtful after leaving the pitch during the win over Livingston.

If he cannot play, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Reo Hatate might step into the starting lineup to take on more responsibility in the midfield.

Celtic is still without several players due to long-term injuries. Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles), Jota (knee), and Alistair Johnston and Callum Osmand (both hamstring) are all unavailable for the trip to Kilmarnock.

Celtic predicted lineup

Possible Celtic starting XI: Schmeichel; Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Saracchi; Hatate, McGregor, Nygren; Tounekti, Cvancara, Maeda.

When will the match kick off?
