Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic travel to Kilmarnock on Sunday afternoon, and our betting tips for the encounter can be backed in a 9/2 three fold bet builder.
With September’s international window now behind us, the Scottish Premiership is back, and the weekend’s action comes to a close with Kilmarnock hosting Celtic at Rugby Park on Sunday.
Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00, and both sides will be looking to maintain their unbeaten records.
The Bhoys, who top the table heading into the weekend, have recorded three wins and a draw across their opening four matches of the campaign and are yet to concede a single goal.
Last time out, Brendan Rodgers’ side were held to a goalless draw by city rivals Rangers at Ibrox.
Killie, meanwhile, have recorded four draws thus far. These results include three 2-2 draws against Livingston, Hibernian and Motherwell, along with a goalless stalemate against Dundee.
Celtic are overwhelming 1/4 favourites with football betting sites ahead of the fifth round of fixtures, while the hosts are rated at around 10/1 to seal all three points against the champions.
Recent meetings between the pair point towards a win for the Glasgow-based outfit too, as they are unbeaten in eight consecutive matches (seven wins and one draw) against Kilmarnock.

Celtic to Win Both Halves @ 6/4
A fiery atmosphere is expected in the stands at Rugby Park on Sunday.
Hundreds of Hoops fans have signed an open letter publicly criticising the club board after a dismal transfer window, while some reports suggest that Rodgers is plotting his Parkhead exit.
The next Celtic manager betting odds suggest Robbie Keane is favoured to replace him.
Despite this, the Bhoys have enjoyed a strong start to their Scottish Premiership title defence.
Looking to ease the pressure on the club, we’re backing the players to assert their dominance early on and expect them to maintain their superiority throughout the entire fixture.
At 6/4, we see value in backing the visitors to win both halves of the match.
Both Teams to Score – No @ 4/5
Celtic have looked solid defensively thus far this term, shipping just one goal across a total of seven competitive matches in all competitions. They are yet to concede a goal in the league.
Additionally, they have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four league meetings vs Killie.
At 4/5, the Bhoys shutting out Kilmarnock once more looks to be a strong play for your bet builders, with Rodgers’ side expected to dominate large spells of the encounter.
Kelechi Iheanacho to Score at Any Time @ 5/6
Our final tip is to back Kelechi Iheanacho to score at any time on Sunday afternoon.
The former Manchester City star, who worked with Rodgers at Leicester, joined the club on a one-year deal after his Sevilla contract was terminated following a failed loan at Middlesbrough.
Looking to reignite his career, Iheanacho has been tipped to make his first start this weekend.
Facing off against a Kilmarnock side that have already conceded six this term provides him with a perfect platform to get up and running with his first goal since arriving in Scotland.
You can back the Nigerian to score at around 5/6 with leading bookmakers in the UK.
