BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park"That goal was all Tom Rogic. His twinkle toes and strength once again took him away from the Kilmarnock defence into the box and Forrest couldn't really miss. A hard one to swallow for the home side."

BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park"Promising play from the home side as they put pressure on the Celtic defence with a few good balls into the box. Celtic still dominating but so far haven't really threatened in front of goal."

Terrific skill from Dom Thomas as he escapes Kristoffer Ajer during a period of positive Kilmarnock play. The Killie man cannot find the telling pass into the Celtic box though.

'Fragile' Armstrong needs to 'hit ground running'published at 12:43 British Summer Time 19 August 2017
Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic
Quote MessageI think Stuart Armstrong has looked out of sync and a bit fragile. He has been knocked about from pillar to post while his future remained unresolved, unsure about his position and where he wanted to be. But for the benefit of the national team, it is important he hits the ground running now he has signed his new deal and he is back in the team.

BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park"Celtic's bright green away strip is providing a stark contrast to the grey Ayrshire sky as both teams try to settle into this one. The visitors playing their usual patient, probing football as they look for a way through. Killie standing firm pretty well so far."

'I trust my players' - Rodgerspublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 19 August 2017
Kilmarnock 0-0 Celtic
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers explains why he has made six changes to his side, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League second leg trip to Astana.
"We are in the middle of four games in 10 days, so it is just ensuring the squad is fresh and ready for every game," he tells BBC Scotland. "It is a long season, the players work very hard in training every day, and if I need to change it, I have trust in the players to do that.
"The young players have been educated in how we work and they have played very well in pre-season. So we take it step by step with them but it is still a strong team and we will look to get another good performance today."
