Celtic are looking to get back to winning ways against Kilmarnock this weekend.

Defeat to St Johnstone last weekend was a shock as the Hoops lost their third Premiership game in six after a sloppy McDiarmid Park performance.

Rodgers was visibly angry with his players and told reporters at Lennoxtown on Friday that a display like that for this club simply cannot be accepted.

Chris Sutton thinks the Bhoys are beginning to look complacent on their way to yet another Premiership title – but the job isn’t quite done yet.

However, victory against Kilmarnock could mean that Celtic wrap up the league crown on Sunday, providing Rangers drop points to Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
