Should be a tougher test than last week, although hibs beat them 2-1 last week, think our new goalkeeper will start after a week to settle in and get to know his team mates

It's always been a tricky place to go and get 3pts comfortably, so any victory will be a welcome one.
There are areas I'd like to see us improve on from the first game, however easy the 5-1 scoreline might've seemed.
In defence we were far too lenient at the back and we could've quite easily conceded 2 or 3 goals on any other day. Given the stature of Jullien and Ajer we should be rock solid when balls are fired into the box but for some reason it looks like the opposite is true!
I'm hoping that it's just early season jitters and it'll disappear but it's a worry imo.
All that said, I'm going for 3-1 the Hoops.

Plastic carpet or not I can't see us being troubled by Killie as long as we play our game high up the pitch.

Celtic started the Ten-in-a-Row campaign with a thumping 5-1 home win against Hamilton Accies. The second match of the season sees the Celts travel to Ayrshire tomorrow for their first away encounter

Personally I think Stephen O'Donnell is a good right back and might be worth a punt so we can push Frimpong further up the pitch to give Forrest the much needed competition he thrives on. I think SOD and Elhamed are strong enough full backs, with Frimpong as a contingency backup.Celtic will face a very different Kilmarnock tomorrow after Alex Dyer's Summer shake-up.

Not the Killie players I'm concerned about it's their indoor bowling green of a pitch. The ball tends to bounce about like a Aberdeen player oot on the swally.

We play the pitch as much as the teamdown there. I will go for 4.0 and hopefully the defence smarten up after last week. Especially set pieces which we were woeful at dealing with.
Mid to front again will be on it, just defending that needs improvement. I think Barkas will start. Although on that pitch Lenny may wait. Hopefully a good game and more fast attacking play.

Is Frimpong injured? If not he starts, was brilliant last week.

I've got 3-1 on my predictor. I gave Killie a goal because of the mental bounce on their pitch. Tough first half but we'll be at them in the 2nd half. Hopefully make some changes at late doors and give some Bhoys game time

I'd like Lenny to play Klimala up front with Eddie today.
