Celtic will hope to increase the pressure on the Scottish Premiership’s top two as they visit Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday (kick-off: 2pm).
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s injury-time strike saved the reigning champions' blushes on Wednesday night as they defeated bottom club Livingston 2-1 at Parkhead. Six points behind league leaders Hearts with a game in hand, Martin O’Neill’s men require another three points at the weekend as they look to take advantage of the top two facing each other at Ibrox.
It’ll be far from easy, though, with rejuvenated Kilmarnock having won two of their last three league games under new head coach Neil McCann. The 51-year-old boss saw his side go within three points of 10th-placed Dundee after winning an enthralling game against St Mirren on Wednesday, where a Tyreece John-Jules hat-trick sealed a dramatic 4-3 victory.
