Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 20 of the 100 games played, and losing 52.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in April 2007, with Celtic inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Killie in a Scottish Premier match.
