Tremendous finish! It all came from winning it back after losing possession.
Terrific finish, bottom right-hand corner. I don't think the keeper had any chance.
Reo Hatate
Reo Hatate gets the champions off the mark!
A mistake from the Killie defence gifts the ball to Greg Taylor, who finds Reo Hatate on the edge of the box. He makes no mistake from that distance and barrels his shot into the bottom corner.
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Sublime defending from Lewis Mayo to deny a certain goal for Celtic.
Kyogo Furuhsahi dinks the ball over goalkeeper Robby McCrorie but Mayo comes charging in to save the day, firing the ball clear.
St Mirren 3-0 Hibernian
Bit of a scramble in the St Mirren penalty area but Hibs can't force the ball in.
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
If you need any idea of how Celtic have started this game, they've clocked 107 successful passes. Killie have managed just six.

I'm watching Kuhn, He's had it five times and gone inside four times, it hasn't caused any problems.
The one time he went on the outside he caused havoc. I'd like to see him do that more often.
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
Celtic looking very comfortable on the ball.
Shouts for a penalty as James Forrest goes down, the referee is having none of it though.
Up the other end, Matty Kennedy tries to curl one into the top corner but his effort sails high and wide.
Oisin Smyth
St Mirren are racing to the top of the league!
James Scott is again the provider, with Oisin Smyth sweeping a first-time shot home from 14 yards or so.
The Hibs defence not looking too clever here...
Oisin Smyth
Oisin Smyth doesn't have to wait long to make amends as he nods home from a James Scott cross.
It's a shocker for defender Marvin Ekpiteta, as his pass-back is intercepted by Scott, who does very well to keep the ball in play then find the head of Smyth.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
Roland Idowu goes so close to his second cracker of the day as his curling shot strikes the post.
The ball falls at the feet of Oisin Smyth, who can only fire over the top.
Celtic 0-0 Kilmarnock
The visitors get things under way.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
Martin Boyle gets a glimpse of daylight and breaks away from the St Mirren defence but his shot is weak and easily saved by Ellery Balcombe.
Celtic v Kilmarnock (16:30)
Callum McGregor leads out his Celtic side alongside the Scottish Premiership trophy.
They're welcomed onto the pitch with a guard of honour from Kilmarnock as well as full stadium tifo that looks mightily impressive as the champions' flag is hoisted.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian

VAR is back but not at full capacity. Only three of the six cameras here at the SMISA are working properly, so we'll be at half capacity in terms of the technology for the rest of the match.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
Hibs, who have brought on Chris Cadden, are huffing and puffing but they are struggling to create any meaningful openings.
Celtic v Kilmarnock (16:30)
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "The challenge is to try and improve across the board, the improvements we hope come from the players individually.
"In the main the squad that did so well last season is the squad we're going to work with again.
"Today is clearly a tough test for us especially when I'm trying to manage the schedule with the game on Thursday night.
"There's a few of the boys ordinarily we'd take a gamble with. It's a makeshift back four but hopefully we can do what we did against Celtic last year.
"We're under no illusions how difficult a test it is. We're going to have to stick together today and see where it takes us."

Fans were here nice and early to line the Celtic Way and welcome their Double-winning heroes as they prepare to unfurl the title flag ahead of kick-off.
It's one final nod to last season's successes before the champions look to go and do it all over again.
Kasper Schmeichel makes his home debut and Brendan Rodgers is confident he's got the man to fill the void left by Joe Hart's retirement.
Kilmarnock come here patched up with injuries leaving them with just three recognised defenders.
Brad Lyons is shifted to right back and Derek McInnes has told his side it will take a huge defensive effort to get out of Glasgow with anything from this one.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
Martin Boyle gets two bites at the cherry but his first shot is blocked and the second trundles into the arms of St Mirren goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe.

Cammy Bell
Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper on BBC Sportscene
Kasper Schmeichel is a fantastic signing. I think he's an upgrade on Joe Hart as he's better with his feet.
He's still a top keeper playing at the top level with the Danish national team.
St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian

Big delay here due to a problem with the technology. An announcement over the tannoy that 'VAR is non-operational'. We're back up and running, shock horror, WITHOUT VAR.
How on earth will we all cope...?
