Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Celtic at Rugby Park at lunchtime on Sunday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 21 of the 107 games played, and losing 58.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in March 2010, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
