Celtic will look to return to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership when they face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers’ side started their title defence with three straight victories before playing out a drab 0-0 draw with Old Firm rivals Rangers last time out.
However, that stalemate was still enough to ensure that Celtic signed off for the international break occupying top spot in the Scottish Premiership table.
Seeking to tighten their grip at the summit of the standings, Celtic will look to get back up and running by claiming a win over Kilmarnock this weekend.
Killie have made a solid if unspectacular start to life under the tutorship of new manager Stuart Kettlewell.
The Ayrshire outfit have drawn each of their opening four league games of the season, the most recent of which was an action-packed 2-2 away at Motherwell.
How the bookies view it: Light work for Celtic
As tends to be the case most weekends, Celtic come into this clash as heavy odds-on favourites, with an away win as short as 1/4 on Boylesports.
A fifth successive draw involving Kilmarnock is an unfancied 9/2 with Boylesports while a home win is trading at a towering 17/2 with the same bookmaker.
Head to head: Celtic seeking six in a row
Celtic have triumphed in each of their previous five encounters with Kilmarnock, including each of the four meetings between the pair last season.
Players to watch: Daizen to deliver?
While Daizen Maeda has yet to hit the same heights as he did last season, the Celtic ace looks too big to ignore for a goal or an assist on Sunday at 19/20 with William Hill.
Kyle Magennis collected his first yellow card of the season against Motherwell a fortnight ago. The Kilmarnock midfielder is an eye-catching 9/4 with Bet365 to pick up another booking on Sunday afternoon.
Predicted line-ups
Kilmarnock will be unable to call upon the services of long-term absentee Matty Kennedy, while midfielder Brad Lyons could also miss out after being forced off against Motherwell with a hamstring injury.
Celtic again look set to be without injured trio Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty and Jota, however new arrivals Kelechi Iheanacho and Sebastian Tounekti could make their debuts for the club this weekend.
Kilmarnock: Stryjek; Brannan, Stranger Mayo, Deas, Thompson; Watson, Magennis, Polworth; Daniels, Dackers
Celtic: Schmeichel; Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney; Nygren, McGregor, Hatate; Tounekti, Balikwisha, Maeda
Anything else catch the eye?
Bundling up over five Celtic corners alongside over one Kilmarnock card will bring about an attractive 4/5 shot on Bet365.
This angle of attack would have been a winning one during Celtic’s 2-0 win away at Aberdeen last month.
Given that Killie have racked up three or more cards in three of their four Scottish Premiership matches this season, the same selection on Sunday looks well worthy of support at 11/8 on Boylesports.
