This weekend, Celtic travel to face Kilmarnock in their 11th match of the Scottish Premiership season. Brendan Rodgers will hope for a win heading into the November international break. With Aberdeen having the same number of points as them, the Hoops cannot afford to take any fixture lightly.
Celtic are having a tremendous season in all competitions. They are performing to expectations within the Premiership and in Europe, they are exceeding the standard everybody had set for them.
The Hoops will visit a side who have won three of their last five Premiership match. If Celtic win this match, they will remain top of the table heading into the break. Anything less could see Aberdeen sneak ahead.
Regardless, Celtic are always the favourites in matches such as these. So, let's jump into the match preview.

Kilmarnock team news
Kilmarnock have two injury doubts heading into this match. They could be without Kyle Magennis and Liam Polworth. Despite both not being ruled out entirely, the feeling is that they will be back after the upcoming November international break. Stuart Findlay is unlikely to play in this match after the defender was subbed off after the half-hour mark in the last game against Dundee.
Predicted Kilmarnock lineup vs Celtic: McCrorie; Mayo, Deas, Wright; Armstrong, Watson, Lyons, Kennedy, Ndaba; Vassell, Anderson
