Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park on Wednesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 20 of the 104 games played, and losing 56.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish League Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Kilmarnock's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Killie have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Celtic's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Kilmarnock see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 29 points from their 27 games played so far, Celtic sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 60 points from their 27 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Killie at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Bhoys come away with an easy victory. Away win

| Kilmarnock | Failed to win in previous 2 home matches. Not won in the 6 most recent games. |
| Celtic | Previous 2 away games have finished all-square. Not won in previous 3 away matches. 8 games since last defeat. |
