Celtic team to play Killie

PADDY ROBERTS and Stuart Armstrong start as Celtic look for goals against Kilmarnock with no recognised striker in the side.

Odsonne Edouard has a hamstring injury and Leigh Griffiths is unavailable after an illness while Moussa Dembele is not being risked with the Cup Final on Brendan Rodgers’ mind.

Scott Bain is preferred to Dorus de Vries in goal, Craig Gordon isn’t risked either as he has a minor knee complaint.

Jack Hendry is in with Calvin Miller in the back four where Simunovic is given a rare start. Kristoffer Ajer is the only defender to keep his place from the weekend’s win over Hearts.

Scott Brown, Callum McGregor, James Forrest and Scotty Sinclair make up the remaining places in the starting eleven.
