Celtic - Kilmarnock

Camilo Duran remains the focal point of the Celtic attack as they prepare to host Kilmarnock on 8 November 2026 for matchday 13 of the Premiership. Following a dramatic 3-2 Europa League victory over Besiktas, the hosts look to bounce back from a recent league setback against Falkirk. The expected XI, anchored by the defensive experience of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Kieran Tierney, aims to rediscover the clinical form that saw them dismantle Heart of Midlothian 7-1 last month. Celtic have dominated recent meetings with their visitors, including a commanding 5-1 win back in August.

Kilmarnock arrive at Celtic Park facing a challenging run of form, having failed to secure a win in their last three league outings. With goalkeeper Maksymilian Stryjek and Bailey Rice both sidelined through injury, the visitors will rely on Nico Mantl to withstand the pressure. Joe Hugill will lead the line for a side that has struggled for defensive consistency, as evidenced by recent losses to Dundee FC and Falkirk. Kilmarnock will need to find the defensive resolve they demonstrated in September to disrupt the rhythm of their opponents in this demanding encounter.
