What channel is Kilmarnock v Celtic? TV and live stream plus team news, referee and VAR

Following the high of their midweek Champions League win over RB Leipzig, Celtic get back down to domestic business when they travel to Kilmarnock on Sunday.

Celtic were at their blistering best against the German Bundesliga title challengers on Tuesday in a 3-1 victory that made Europe sit up and take notice but the focus for Brendan Rodgers and his players now shifts back to the bread and butter of the William Hill Premiership.

A different challenge awaits on the plastic pitch at Rugby Park where Celtic twice came a cropper last season, losing 1-0 in the League Cup before suffering a 2-1 defeat in the league. Those memories were banished, however, in a 5-0 demolition in May which clinched the title. Rangers, who also lost away to Kilmarnock last season, went down to a 1-0 defeat at the Ayrshire venue only three weeks ago as Derek McInnes’ side continue to make a habit of making life difficult for the Old Firm on their (artificial) turf.

Celtic will look to reclaim top spot in the table from Aberdeen who moved three points clear in first place on 31 points having played a game more after their 4-1 win over Dundee at Pittodrie on Saturday. Killie have so far struggled to live up to last season’s fourth-placed finish this term, winning only three of their opening 11 league fixtures to sit eighth in the table. They surrendered a two-goal lead at Dens Park last weekend to go down to a 3-2 defeat to Dundee.

Kilmarnock v Celtic team news

Kilmarnock will be without defender Stuart Findlay for the next four months after he suffered ankle ligament damage against Dundee last weekend. Winger Danny Armstrong is also doubtful due to a hamstring issue that forced him off at Dens Park. Liam Polworth (calf) is pushing for a return and long-term absentee Kyle Magennis is still building up his fitness.

Celtic defenders Auston Trusty and Cameron Carter-Vickers missed training on Friday but Brendan Rodgers is hopeful of having both available for the trip to Rugby Park. Odin Thiago Holm remains out with calf problems.

Nick Walsh is the match referee with Don Robertson on VAR duty.
