Celtic Look to Extend Lead in Premiership Title Race Against Kilmarnock
The heat is on in the Premiership title race with Celtic and Rangers level on points at the top of the table, gearing up for Scotland’s first major title race in over a decade.
Brendan Rodgers‘ Celtic plays first this weekend, facing Philippe Clement‘s Kilmarnock at McDairmid Park on Saturday in a crucial match.
The Hoops will be aiming for a win against Kilmarnock to open up a gap on their arch-Glasgow rivals as the race intensifies.
The game between Celtic and Kilmarnock is scheduled for Saturday, February 17th, with a 3pm kick-off at Celtic Park in Glasgow.
This match, unfortunately, is not selected for live television broadcast, with Sky Sports choosing not to feature it as part of their Scottish football coverage.
International subscribers to Celtic TV can stream the game on the club’s channel, while those in the UK and Ireland can listen to radio commentary.
Celtic will be without Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston for the upcoming game, with both players still unavailable for selection.
Liel Abada and Reo Hatate will continue to sit out, with Abada’s absence attributed to mental readiness and Hatate still recovering from an injury.
On the other side, Kilmarnock will miss Brad Lyons and Kyle Magennis with long-term injuries, while Robbie Deas is nursing a fractured cheekbone but eyeing a return for the next match against Aberdeen.
