History of the Kilmarnock v Celtic fixture
Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park at lunchtime on Sunday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 21 of the 109 games played, and losing 60.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was earlier this season, where Celtic annihilated the Killie 0-4 in a Scottish Premier match.
