Stats for this game
Matchup Celtic VS Kilmarnock
Celtic’s established distance
Celtic’s long-term edge is unusually clear in this pairing. Their 5-1 Premiership win on 9 August 2026 followed a 4-0 result on 9 November 2025, while another 5-1 victory on 12 April 2025 shows how often the scoreline can move beyond a narrow margin. Celtic also won 2-0 on 10 November 2024, reinforcing a consistent direction without requiring every meeting to become one-sided.
Kilmarnock keep margins alive
Kilmarnock’s strongest counterpoint came on 15 February 2026, when Celtic won 3-2 rather than by a wider score. The FA Cup meeting on 18 January 2025 also finished 2-1 to Celtic, supplying a closer cup example while the historical balance remains firmly tilted. These results leave Celtic as the clear reference side, but they give Kilmarnock a credible question to carry into each encounter: can another narrow score interrupt the established pattern, or will Celtic’s advantage again be expressed on the scoreboard?
