Celtic have racked up consecutive Scottish Premiership wins over St Johnstone and Hibernian - with full focus now on becoming more consistent in the title race.

The Hoops head to Ayrshire on Sunday to take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park and manager Brendan Rodgers will be expecting to see the same level of quality from his team that they displayed in the 4-1 thrashing of the Edinburgh club in midweek.

The Scottish champions have yet to taste defeat in their first 16 league matches which has allowed them to open an eight-point gap over rivals Rangers. However, they return to a venue that was the scene of their early Viaplay Cup exit at the start of this season.

Kilmarnock ended a three-game winless run with an impressive 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Wednesday night, thanks to David Watson's 92nd minute winner. Derek McInnes' side are a tough nut to crack and continue to showcase several positive traits that would inspire confidence of finishing in the top half of the table this term.

A win over Celtic this weekend could potentially see the Ayrshire outfit climb as high as third place if other results go in their favour, but they will require another strong performance after going down 3-1 during the previous meeting at Parkhead.

That could see Liverpool loanee Nat Phillips come into the side, while left-back Greg Taylor has been struggling with flu symptoms this week. Winger Yang Hyun-jun was dropped out of the matchday squad on Wednesday after a poor showing against St Johnstone. This game is expected to come too soon for Daizen Maeda, while Liel Abada and Reo Hatate remain out.

Killie have doubts over Kyle Magennis (thigh) and Innes Cameron, with both players carrying knocks. Captain Kyle Vassell should be passed fit and Cardiff City loanee Tom Davies has returned to training.
