Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 20 of the 105 games played, and losing 57.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in March 2009, with Celtic inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Killie in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Kilmarnock's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Killie have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Celtic's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the The Bhoys, and 4 goals against.
Kilmarnock are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 22 matches. Celtic's total of 44 points from their 22 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.

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
