What channel is Celtic v Kilmarnock on? Kick-off time, how to watch, referee and VAR officials

Celtic have never lost a domestic fixture on home soil under Ange Postecoglou and they will look to keep that record intact when they host Kilmarnock on Saturday.

The last time Celtic tasted defeat at Parkhead in a Scottish setting was nearly two years ago – a 2-1 reverse to St Mirren in a Premiership fixture on January 30, 2021 under previous manager Neil Lennon during the failed bid to land a 10th consecutive Premiership title.

All of Postecoglou’s domestic losses across his season and a half in charge – which amount to just five matches – have come either away from home or in the neutral setting of Hampden Park, where Rangers claimed an extra-time victory in last season’s Scottish Cup semi-final.

Celtic’s only league defeat this season came at St Mirren in September, with Postecoglou’s side recovering impressively to embark on a 12-match winning run which only came to an end earlier this week with Monday’s 2-2 at Ibrox.

Kilmarnock are up next in the first of a double header between the two sides ahead of the Viaplay Cup semi-final at Hampden the following weekend.

A victory would see league leaders Celtic open up a 12-point gap over rivals Rangers, who do not play until Sunday with a trip to face Dundee United at Tannadice.
