The Celtic fans may have paid a discounted £20 at Rugby Park but they are not for sitting down. They are standing behind Craig Gordon's goal, desperate to see their team score to put added pressure on Aberdeen, who play Motherwell at Fir Park at 3pm.
Leigh Griffiths heads straight at Kilmarnock goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald from 18 yards, and from a corner from the right moments later Erik Sviatchenko nods just wide of the Killie target when he ought to have hit the back of the net.
Gary Dicker strides out of the Killie defence and across the halfway line and rolls the ball out to Kallum Higginbotham on the left, but despite continuing his run into the Celtic box the chance is wasted with a wayward shot at goal.
Celtic captain Scott Brown rolls the ball backwards under his foot to Nir Bitton whose left-foot shot is deflected a foot or so wide of the Killie goal.

Quote MessageBoth teams are trying to win it. It's not as if Kilmarnock are just sitting in.
Former Celtic striker Mark Burchill
Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon looks rather stunned as he makes a tremendous, instinctive save at the far post to keep out a blistering volley by Kris Boyd who got on the end of Kallum Higginbotham's cross from the left.
Celtic have subsidised the cost of tickets for their fans in Kilmarnock by £6, reducing the blow to £20.
And we're under way. The sun is out and all is well.
The teams may have earned a point apiece in each of their two games so far this season but there are a whopping 38 points between Celtic and Killie in terms of their league tallies.
Kick-off at Rugby Park is in three minutes' time. Later today we have four other Premiership matches - Hamilton v Partick Thistle, Hearts v St Johnstone, Motherwell v Aberdeen and Ross County v Inverness CT.
Quote MessageWe’ve lost two crucial players. The 18 players we have today are the 18 players we have fit.

When you are winning leagues you have to win all the time. We want to keep the tempo up for the whole 90 minutes.
Celtic manager Ronny Deila

Kilmarnock are unbeaten against Celtic this season, with both previous match-ups ending in draws. However, you need to go back to February 2010 for Killie's last home win against today's opponents.
