Who is impressing? at Celtic Park, and who isn't? Rate the players here.

Kilmarnock's Stephen O'Donnell takes a tumble in the box, under the close attention of Celtic captain Scott Brown, but nothing doing for eagle-eyed whistler Willie Collum.

Much better from Celtic, as the hosts pick up the pace of their passing as they search for the opener. James Forrest cuts the ball back to Tom Rogic but the Australian shows a surprising lack of composure as he balloons a shot high over the bar.

Well, close-ish... Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has the chance to open the scoring with a free kick about 25 yards out.

But the Frenchman's whipped effort, not unlike a golfer trying to clear a greenside bunker to find the putting surface, clears the Kilmarnock wall but drifts wide.

Steve Clarke's side flex their attacking muscles for the first time, but Eamonn Brophy's effort lacks the accuracy to trouble Scott Bain.

Moments later, Celtic come forward through Emilio Izaguirre, but the full-back's shot flies high over the bar.

A good open game in the opening 10 minutes.

All we need is a goal...

The visitors are enjoying precious little time in possession. After coughing up the ball in midfield, Tom Rogic and James Forrest race forward.

Captain Scott Brown tries his luck from distance, his 30-yard effort is deflected for a corner. But Celtic can't profit from the set piece as Daniel Bachmann gathers.

Celtic have been held 0-0 in their last two Scottish Premiership games by Livingston and Hibernian, but boss Neil Lennon isn't panicking as his team attempt to close out their eighth straight title.

Lennon said: "We're playing well and creating chances and if we keep doing that we'll score. I'd be more worried if we weren't creating chances. We have just lacked a bit of composure in front of goal the last couple of games."

On his two changes for today's game - Tom Rogic and Scott Sinclair in for Johnny Hayes and Olivier Ntcham - Lennon added: "Tom gives us creativity in midfield. Sinclair is chomping at the bit and a bit more of a goal threat in games like these at home."

We're under way!

The Lisbon Lions are applauded onto the pitch at Celtic Park, as fans unfurl a banner displaying the message: Men May Die, But Legends Live Forever. Hail Cesar.

A minute's applause is held in memory of the late Billy McNeill.

A tribute to the late Billy McNeill at Celtic Park is followed by a rendition of Walk On, with the playing surface bathed in late April sunshine.

Red cards for Kirk Broadfoot, Stuart Findlay and Rory McKenzie in last weekend's 1-0 home defeat by Aberdeen have left visiting boss Steve Clarke having to select a makeshift central defence.

Veteran on-loan Wigan Athletic defender Alex Bruce is handed his first league start and is partnered at the back by Gary Dicker, who moves back from midfield.

Liam Millar, the 19-year-old striker on loan from Liverpool, is also given a first start, with on-loan Fleetwood Town forward Conor McAleny also coming into the side in an attacking line-up in which Eamonn Brophy also retains his place.

Aaron Tshibola, on loan from Aston Villa, comes into midfield in place of Youssouff Mulumbu, who in ineligible against his parent club.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon on the emotions he felt while laying a wreath at Billy McNeill's statue this morning: “Just sadness.You see the Lions there and Billy’s family, what they’ve had go through the last five-six years and especially the last few months, it’s been horrendously tough for them.

“It’s a very emotional day, but Billy’s family want us to celebrate his life the way he’d like to be remembered and that’s important today.

“The atmosphere will be one the players should embrace. Everything good about the club will manifest itself today."

Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke tells BBC Scotland's Sportsound: "It's been a tough week, but we've had some good work in training.

"I've been working on a few things with the group of players that start today. Hopefully, we'll see the benefit of that during the game.

"For me, it's not so much the race for Europe but the points total. I want to be better than last season and I think that the team deserves to be better than last season.

"It was a disappointing result last weekend for us [against Aberdeen] in a pivotal game in the battle for third place.

"But we haven't finished and we haven't stopped. We know that if we put on a performance then we can cause Celtic problems."
