Celtic vs Kilmarnock Betting Tips and Prediction 7 Jan 2023. On Saturday, Celtic will host Kilmarnock at Celtic Park for game 21 of the Scottish Premiership (January 7). The home team just played in the dramatic 2-2 Old Firm derby tie against Rangers. At various moments, both teams exchanged the lead, but goals from Daizen Maeda, Ryan Kent, James Tavernier, and Kyogo Furuhashi helped to ensure that the prizes were shared.
In contrast, Kilmarnock also received a point in a less thrilling 0-0 home draw with ten-man St. Mirren. The Kille had a man advantage for 83 minutes after Ethan Erhahon was dismissed early, but they were unable to capitalize on it.
With 20 points from as many games, the draw placed them in ninth place overall. With 55 points, Celtic maintains its lead at the top of the standings, nine points in front of Rangers, their nearest rival and local rival.
