Gary Dicker fires low and wide as Kilmarnock look to respond immediately.

Poor defending from Kilmarnock allows Celtic to take the lead.

Alan Power fails to stay with Scott Brown at a David Turnbull corner and the Celtic captain heads into the corner.

A rare goal from the former Scotland midfielder comes moments after a more typical elbow in the face of Aaron Tshibola that wasn't spotted by the officials.

A Rory McKenzie corner kick flashes across the box and at least three Kilmarnock players should get contact that may have been enough to nudge it into the net, but it goes clear for a throw-in and the chance is gone.

David Turnbull collects the ball outside the box, opens his right foot and curls the ball just wide of the post. More good pressure from Celtic.

A good ball into the box and Odsonne Edouard is maybe just a yard a way from connecting as Celtic continue to put the pressure on.

Plenty of deliveries into Killie's box, but their back-line as so far defending everything well.

Kilmarnock go close to the opening goal. A hanging cross into the box, goalkeeper Scott Bain stays on his line and Chris Burke storms into the six-yard box. But left-back Greg Taylor makes an excellent intervention.

Celtic have started well, pressing Kilmarnock back into their own box, but the home side have repelled everything that has come their way so far.

Aberdeen suffer a painful defeat that delivers blows on so many levels.

They drop to third after Hibs' win in St Mirren, while visitors Livingston move to within five points of them in fifth.

Home goalkeeper Joe Lewis fumbled a Julien Sorrano cross into his own net before Nicky Devlin headed home the second before the break.

Aberdeen improved after the break, but by then the damage was done as Livingston extend their unbeaten run to 14 games under David Martindale.

Hibs jump back into third place after two second-half goals down 10-man St Mirren.

Home goalkeeper Jak Alnwick was dismissed in an uneventful first half after clattering Martin Boyle to the turf.

Ryan Porteous headed home 10 minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute before Boyle lashed in a penalty.

Jon Obika's goal gave the hosts hope, but Jack Ross' side see the game out.

Despite the hosts playing with a man down, this game is still in the balance heading into the closing stages.

Could they make a dramatic comeback?

We're under way at Rugby Park.

Who would have thought at the start of the season, when Celtic had just lifted a ninth consecutive title, that Neil Lennon's side would be travelling to Rugby Park at the start of February 23 points adrift of Rangers and on the back of one win in six games?

Lennon admitted that Saturday's home loss to St Mirren was a new low, but he is clinging on to the job despite chief executive Peter Lawwell announcing that he will be leaving his own post this summer.

Not so Alex Dyer, who fell on his sword after Kilmarnock suffered a third straight defeat after relinquishing a two-goal lead to lose at home to St Johnstone.

Killie's caretaker management team go into this looking for a first win over Celtic in eight games.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon tells BBC Scotland why Olivier Ntcham wanted out of Celtic, with the Frenchman sealing a loan move on transfer deadline day to Marseille.

"It's not the club he's unhappy with, I think just his life in Glasgow," he says. "I think he was a bit fed up and indifferent with the Scottish game and he wanted a different challenge."

Lennon criticised his side at the weekend after the 2-1 defeat by St Mirren saying the players had let him down and he defended his comments.

"You can gloss over it as much as you like, I'm not going to do that," he says. "When I see a poor performance, I think I have to come out and say it sometimes.

"In training, they look good. For some reason they can't bring that intensity into the games.

"I've given them a jag and I'm looking for the right response. The players have to be honest with themselves."

Interim Kilmarnock manager James Fowler tells BBC Scotland: "I've been busy dealing with transfers, we've had two training sessions with the players, tonight is just about a reaction, we're looking for a performance.

"We have lost a good guy in Alex Dyer. It's important the players show they are a good side and they're willing to fight for the jersey."

Interim Kilmarnock boss makes two changes from the 3-2 defeat by St Johnstine in his first match in charge.

Goalkeeper Danny Rogers is dropped in favour of Colin Doyle, while midfielder Gary Dicker returns to the starting line-up in favour of striker Nicke Kabamba.

The Rugby Park club made two deadline day signings in the shape of defender Zech Medley from Arsenal and winger Brandon Pierrick from Crystal Palace, but if they are to make their debuts this evening, it will have to be from the bench.

Neil Lennon makes wholesale changes to the Celtic side after their 2-1 weekend defeat to St Mirren.

Scott Brown, Stephen Welsh, Albian Ajeti and Ryan Christie all come back into the starting line-up.

And there is a debut for on-loan Everton right-back Jonjoe Kenny.

Shane Duffy is dropped to the bench and Nir Bitton is not in the squad as the defence is changed. Ismaila Soro, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Leigh Griffiths also begin on the bench.

Aberdeen are huffing and puffing but failing to blow the Livingston defence down.

Indeed, wayward passing is allowing the visitors to threaten on the break.

It's Aberdeen's turn to pile on the pressure and Livi have to scramble clear after goalkeeper Max Stryjek fails to gather a cross.
