Derek McInnes has named his Kilmarnock team for this afternoon’s Cinch Premiership game against Celtic. The Rugby Park outfit are at Paradise for the 3pm kick-off against the Champions of Scotland.
The Killie team is as follows:
Dennis, Mayo, Findlay, Wright, Deas, Nbada, Lyons, Watson, Kennedy, Armstrong, Vassell.
Subs: O’Hara, Sanders, Davies, Polworth, Murray, Brown, Warnock, Cameron, Dallas.
McInnes, who is likely to be included in the Rangers managerial shortlist, has presided over a victory against Celtic already this season. The Ayrshire side won the League Cup Last 16 meeting before exiting at the hands of Hearts.
Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, has brought Cameron Carter-Vickers and Luis Palma into the starting XI from the midweek defeat to Lazio. The pair replace Nat Phillips and Yang, who drop to the bench.
Celtic Starting XI: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate, Maeda, Palma, Kyogo.
Subs: Bain, Phillips, Yang, Holm, Oh, Bernardo, Tomoki, Forrest, Ralston.
It has been a miserable day in terms of weather in Scotland; hopefully Celtic can put on a show and make it a miserable afternoon for the visitors from Ayrshire.
