We said: Celtic 2-0 Kilmarnock

 Celtic will be determined to restore their three-point lead ahead of Rangers, who do not play until Sunday, and we expect them to do so with a routine home win here. Kilmarnock have been one of the surprise packages in Scotland this season and it is unlikely that they will simply roll over without a fight, but they are lacking individual quality to take the game to Rodgers's side.
