To set up a possible title party on Sunday, Celtic need a win on Saturday.
Given Kilmarnock have not enjoyed a victory at Celtic Park since 2012 and sit 43 points behind the leaders, not many are giving the visitors a chance.
However, it was the same story last weekend in Perth when Brendan Rodgers' side were stunned by bottom side St Johnstone.
Celtic have lost three of their past six league games, which is more than in their previous 46 (W38 D6 L2), with Rodgers bemoaning a slackness in mentality, saying "too many of our players have been too comfortable".
It will fall to captain Callum McGregor to drive standards and make sure the champions play with the aggression and tempo the manager demands.
McGregor got the first goal on Kilmarnock's last visit in the Scottish Cup and was also on target at Rugby Park in November.
One more will get him to double figures for the first time since 2019-20.
