CELTIC all but secured the title last week with an Old Firm win and travel down to Ayrshire to face a Kilmarnock side desperate for points.
Ange Postecoglou's men have been utterly relentless in their consistency and it's a question now of when they will be crowned after that incident-packed 3-2 win over Rangers last week.
The Hoops have now actually been nowhere near their best recently, but it's a sign of their strength that they can still get the job done against their biggest rivals despite a fairly lacklustre performance.
If Killie needed any reminder of what they are up against try this – Celtic have now won 16 games in a row in all competitions. And manager Derek McInnes must hate the sight of Celtic. In 47 games as a manager for Killie, Aberdeen and St Johnstone, he's won just six of them.
But the hosts can take plenty of optimism from a very decent record at Rugby Park – they are in the top six – in complete contrast from a dismal away record where they have failed to win all season.
The last time they lost at Rugby Park to anyone outside the Old Firm was in November and they beat Hearts in their previous game in Ayrshire.
How the bookies view it
It's the usual mismatch. Celtic can be backed at 1/5 with bet365. Killie are 16/1 with Coral and the draw is 6/1 with McBookie.com.
Recent head to heads
Celtic won both games 2-0 in Glasgow and thumped Killie 5-0 in Ayrshire back in August.
Kilmarnock have failed to score in this fixture in the past five games and their last win at Rugby Park was in 2018.
Players to watch
Danny Armstrong has been Killie's best player this season and also takes their penalties. He is on a respectable ten goals for the season and looks worth a small stake at 11/1 to score any time with bet365.
South Korea manager Jurgen Klinsmann is coming to Rugby Park to watch Oh Hyeon-gyu and he may get a start after mostly being used from the bench. He is 21/20 to score with bet365.
Anything else catch the eye?
As relentless as Celtic are, this could actually be a rare tough game for them. With the league all but decided and Celtic not quite in top form, Killie can be backed on the handicaps here with a two-goal start at 11/8 with bet365.
Killire are a decent proposition on their artificial surface and can at least score. Since February, St Johnstone, St Mirren twice, Hearts and Hibs as well as Rangers have all managed to break down a defence that isn't impregnable and Ladbrokes' 33/20 on Kilmarnock scoring one goal looks a good shout here.
