CELTIC v KILMARNOCK: 5-MINUTE QUIZ

0

CELTIC  toppled out of the League Cup and sealed their third successive Premiership title at Rugby Park last season.

Kilmarnock featured fairly prominently in Brendan Rodgers rode a rollercoaster in his comeback campaign.

After losing 1-0 in Ayrshire in August 2023 to exit the first silverware of the crusade, the Hoops celebrated a resounding 5-0 victory at the same venue in May last year to claim their twelfth crown in 13 years.

The champions kicked off this term with a landslide 4-0 victory at Parkhead on August 4 as they got into an early stride on their way to what looks like an inevitable 55th untainted championship in the club’s proud history.
