Celts can take another major step towards the title but Killie will have other ideas

Today could have been the day that Celtic were handed their 55th league title.

But basement club St Johnstone forced a rain check on the title party plans at Parkhead by beating the league leaders in Perth last weekend.

The hoops blew the chance to seal the deal in front of their own fans for the first time since 2018 after a 1=-0 defeat to Simo Valakari's men at McDiarmid Park.

Now, they'll have to wait until after the split - or Rangers losing to Aberdeen on Sunday - before getting over the line.

Brendan Rodgers could ring the changes to arrest an alarming run of form where his Treble-chasing side have lost three of their last six Premiership fixtures.

Struggling Kilmarnock are the visitors on Saturday and Derek McInnes' men are in danger of being dragged into relegation trouble after a disappointing campaign.

Killie did get a much-needed win against Motherwell last weekend and another positive result at Parkhead could be priceless in their battle to avoid the drop.

Here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of this weekend's showdown in Glasgow's east end.
