Celtic are set to welcome Kilmarnock to Parkhead tomorrow in the Scottish Premiership. Taking away three points from the match is critical if the Hoops are to keep the pressure on their title rivals.
Killie have proved arduous opposition for the champions this season. Although Celtic were 3-1 victors at Parkhead in October, they have lost 1-0 and 2-1 at Rugby Park already this campaign.
Derek McInness’ side is the sole domestic team to have beaten the Celts twice in 2023/24, and he would love to extend that record this weekend. He may experience a greater Parkhead atmosphere than usual for a regular Saturday 3 o’clock game, though.
Indeed, ultras group the Green Brigade have sent a message to the Parkhead faithful, urging them to sing their hearts out to ‘Grace’ at the start of the game in a message of solidarity to the Palestinian cause:

Celtic fans are known for their backing of the oppressed, and things are no different with current events in the Middle East. This latest showing of support for Palestine will not only raise more awareness for the cause but also make for a raucous atmosphere at Paradise going into another crucial game.
