History of the Kilmarnock v Celtic fixture
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 21 of the 110 games played, and losing 61.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in May 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Kilmarnock at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Killie will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
