The champions are on the road to Ayrshire as they look to keep up their perfect start to the season.
Could a shock be on the cards? McGregor then has a crack at the goal but it hits a sea of blue and white bodies. Lafferty tries to lob Hart in the Hoops goal but he gets it wrong and it trickles along the floor. That looked close enough for him to get a hand to it but he could only help it on its way into the corner. He clatters into Murray at the end of one his charging runs, leaving his opponent in a heap. The big striker goes down in the box claiming for a penalty. It's a first free kick of the half for Celtic. He's subbed off and it means a first appearance of the season for Carl Starfelt. This is a stark warning for clubs in the Premiership. Giakoumakis follows in Jenz' path, turning in the air to nutmeg Walker and make this one a rout. Maeda into the book and off the pitch It's been a relentless run of form in the league for Celtic but Postecoglou has already admitted the pitch could play a factor on the way the game is played.
Moritz Jenz has kept his spot in Celtic's XI for their trip to Kilmarnock this afternoon. The on-loan defender scored on his debut last week against Ross ...
The on-loan defender scored on his debut last week against Ross County and will play from the start at Rugby Park despite Carl Starfelt returning to the squad. There's still no space for Stephen Welsh who suffered with a virus last week. Jenz, who was booked on his first outing, avoided a red card after jumping into the crowd to celebrate his strike and can now be chosen to play alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers at the heart of the defence.

It was more our responsibility and lack of willingness and resolve to deal with that situation. "We spoke about it before the game. The former Rangers striker claimed a penalty, but was instead penalised for backing in, and was booked moments later following an aerial clash with Taylor. Kyle Lafferty sent a weak effort straight at Joe Hart from 25 yards after Oli Shaw had got the better of Celtic's centre-backs, before Murray curled just beyond the far post. "I thought the quality of our goals was excellent and the quality of our general play attacking-wise was good." "So when the opposition get on the ball, when Kilmarnock had the ball today, all of a sudden Jota is ready to go when Celtic win the ball back, and they hunt in packs, there is a like a trigger - McGregor will go, then O'Riley will follow him and then the back four will come up. And keeping Jota fit and healthy between now and the end of the season could be key to a successful title defence for Postecoglou. The Portuguese grabbed 13 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions to help Celtic win the Scottish Premiership last season and he has started this campaign in a similar vein of form. That's what I'm more concerned about. It wasn't the easiest of conditions for our boys to play football both in terms of the temperature and the pitch. "There were plenty of excuses for us to just look at this game as 'three points and get up the road' but we still wanted to put on a performance and I was pleased that the players did. And it was more of the same in the second half as a relentless Celtic went in search of more goals, which duly arrived from substitutes Carl Starfelt (76) and Giorgos Giakoumakis (82) with yet another brilliant effort to round off the scoring.
