Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 20 of the 98 games played, and losing 50.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in April 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
