Celtic fans will have the opportunity to watch Ange Postecoglou’s team live on Sky Sports this weekend, with the Sunday lunchtime fixture against Kilmarnock selected for live coverage.

The game from Rugby Park will be on Sky Sports Football, Main Event and UHD as Ange Postecoglou’s Bhoys look to make it three from three at the start of the Scottish Premiership season.

Celtic TV will also be carrying it for subscribers to their service outside the UK & Ireland, with many other channels across the globe carrying the match from the SPFL’s world feed.

In Australia, the match will be on beIN Sports 2, while USA viewers can tune into CBS Sports Network. Celtic’s increasing Japanese audience can also watch the match on subscription streaming service SPOTV.

It comes after the recent trip to Ross County was the subject of a TV blackout on these shores, with Celtic TV the only means of watching it abroad too.

Most of Celtic’s away matches will be on television this season and the County match should be a rarity, though Sky did fail to select a few last term too.

Ange Postecoglou has already described the trip to Ayrshire as challenging, citing the dodgy surface at Rugby Park as one of the hurdles his team must find a way to overcome during the 90 minutes.

Derek McInnes’ side will look to frustrate Celtic but with attacking talents such as Jota, Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada in confident mood, the Bhoys will take some stopping.

Thankfully many more people will get to see how it all unfolds this weekend.
