Celtic’s journey to secure the Scottish Premiership title includes a tough away test as they prepare to visit Rugby Park, a venue that has proven troublesome for the Hoops this season.

Kilmarnock have defeated Celtic twice at their home ground in Ayrshire—once in a cup tie and again in league play, showcasing their capability to upset the giants.

As the season enters the split phase, Celtic’s potential path to the title could see them clinching the championship during their midweek match against Kilmarnock, scheduled for a 7:30 PM kickoff on a Wednesday. This scenario hinges on Celtic securing victories in their matches against Dundee, Hearts, and most pivotally, Rangers.

However, Brendan Rodgers’ history on Kilmarnock’s synthetic pitch isn’t the most positive. In his seven managerial visits to the venue, Rodgers has only secured three wins, suffering four defeats. This balanced record of six goals scored and six conceded spotlights the challenges Celtic face when playing Killie. [Fotmob]

Brendan Rodgers will be looking to put this record behind him and take the three points from Kilmarnock, who have had quite a good season.
