Neil Lennon makes just two changes to the Celtic side that beat Lille on Thursday with Greg Taylor and Odsonne Edouard replacing Diego Laxalt and Patryk Klimala.

Conor Hazard retains his place in goals with Scott Brown, Ryan Christie and Tom Rogic all starting on the bench but there is no places in the squad for Ewan Henderson or Stephen Welsh.

Celtic drew 1-1 away to Kilmarnock in August with a late substitute appearance from Boli Bolingoli the first sign of troubles ahead this season.

Kilmarnock have lost four of their last five SPFL matches with only a 3-1 home win to Ross County on November 21 breaking that run. Last Saturday Alex Dyer’s side lost 1-0 away to Hamilton Accies.

Following today’s match Celtic have a rare full week of preparations before taking on Hearts in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden.

CELTIC: Hazard; Ajer, Jullien, Duffy, Taylor; Frimpong, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull; Elyounoussi, Edouard

SUBS: Barkas, Brown, Griffiths, Ajeti, Klimala, Christie, Rogic, Johnston, Laxalt
