KILMARNOCK v CELTIC
ACTIVE NATION SCOTTISH CUP QUARTER FINAL
Well folks - this is it and it really is the big one - the green half of Glasgow come to Ayrshire and to the Theatre for the Scottish Cup Quarter Final. We have beat them on the hallowed turf before and without the worry of broken seats in the Moffat and Chadwick Stands, BUT what's chances of that happening this time should Ayrshire's Finest do the double over the hoops? Quite high it would seem!
Right team news now and for Ayrshire's Finest, Craig Bryson and defender Simon Ford return to the team after being on the sidelines. Big Kev Kyle is out with a groin injury, Manuel Pascali is suspended and on-loan Chris Maguire is cup-tied.
Celtic skipper Scott Brown is free from suspension for the cup match while Marc-Antoine Fortune, Jos Hooiveld and Glenn Loovens should all be fit Thomas Rogne, Diomansy Kamara, Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt are all out, while Shaun Maloney will return to full training next week.
