Kilmarnock have got over that sticky patch.

Will Dennis has had to make a few saves, but they have settled back into the game.

78.5% possession for Celtic in the opening 15.

But no goals yet as Mikey Johnston puts too much on a cross.

Will Dennis' gloves are being kept nice and warm.

Not sure that's what he'll want, mind you.

Callum McGregor sends Oh in behind, but the Killie keeper pushes away the striker's near-post effort.

Kilmarnock haven't had a shot yet.

Celtic have had seven.

Fifteen minutes played.

Now then, Kilmarnock have a chance to deliver from a wide free-kick.

It's a good ball in from Liam Polworth, but Celtic get it cleared.

The conditions are suiting Celtic. It's not often you come here and the ball is fizzing along the surface.

Luis Palma glides it in and again Nat Phillips has another header blocked.

The follow-up is nodded towards goal by Oh but Will Dennis catches.

The pace Celtic are playing at...

Another corner.

Could've gone anywhere.

Stuart Findlay throws a leg at a Celtic cross and it loops behind for a corner.

The ball comes back in and Nat Phillips gets a header on it. Blocked.

Celtic have started really well.

Callum McGregor, playing further forward, drives to the bye-line then flashes one across goal.

Will Dennis gets a vital tip on it to prevent the ball reaching Mikey Johnston.

Killie have gone with a flat back four, five across the midfield and it looks like Polworth is going to play off Iwata.

The two inverted wingers, Kennedy and Danny Armstrong, are supporting Kyle Vassell up front.

Will Dennis' first real involvement.

The Killie keeper gets low to his left to deny Matt O'Riley at his near post then punches away the following corner really well.

Mikey Johnston looks to wriggle his way into the Killie box but's sandwiched, fairly, by a couple of defenders.

Seems to be absolutely chucking it down at Rugby Park.

Could be the only time Brendan Rodgers is happy with rain. It'll speed up the artificial pitch.

These strips are annoying me.

Could just be my terrible eyesight, but is there a clash?

Anyway, Danny Armstrong nips the ball off Greg Taylor but can't create anything on the break.

We are go.

Here come the teams...

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "Marley Watkins misses out today purely for tactical reasons. I want my players not just to hope to win today.

"The system we want to play, Matty Kennedy is important for that - one v one situations and we want to get balls in the box.

"There has to be that expectation to put in a performance that gives us the chance to win.

"Celtic are huge favourites and have obvious advantages over us as they have such a lot of talent in their squad. We have to make sure we are the best version of us."

Greg Taylor makes his 150th appearance for Celtic today.

Funnily enough, it comes against the club he left in 2019.

Not going to lie, the fact that was more than four years ago is blowing my mind.
