AI match recap

Celtic enter as league leaders with strong form, a formidable Celtic Park record and a recent record of controlling this matchup. Kilmarnock have shown enough inconsistency defensively to make long spells without the ball likely, especially if Celtic score early. The visitors need to turn the contest into an aerial, fragmented game through set-pieces, restarts and direct transitions. With no confirmed absences in the supplied team news, Celtic’s territorial pressure is the central story.
