Celtic will look to make it two wins from their opening two games as they visit Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership at Rugby Park on Sunday afternoon (kick-off: 1.30pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men began their defence of the title with a narrow 1-0 win against Dundee on Monday evening, with last season’s top scorer Benjamin Nygren beginning the new campaign where he left off with the only goal of the game.
New signings Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh are both in line to start again. However, transfer speculation surrounding Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels means there remains a slight doubt over their participation in the game.
As for their hosts, Kilmarnock will be aiming to respond to their 4-3 opening-day defeat to newly promoted St Johnstone, where Neil McCann’s side were the losers in a frantic game last weekend.
