Why we like this pick
Kilmarnock +1.5: Kilmarnock have lost by 2 or more goals in just 2 of their last 18 games. Celtic keep winning, but often by one goal, including last week's 1-0 over Dundee. Kilmarnock are hard to beat at Rugby Park, where they win most games. Celtic should win a 1-2, and Kilmarnock should stay in touch.
