Celtic squad revealed as VIP arrives for special mission but Ange follows own rules with 2 big calls

South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann will be in attendance to watch runaway Premiership leaders Celtic and striker Oh take on relegation-threatened Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

The champions have have an unchanged squad. Reo Hatate (hamstring), Liel Abada (thigh) and James Forrest (muscle strain) remain out. Aaron Mooy was below his best against Rangers but his impressive season makes him a strong candidate to stick in the starting XI. Daizen Maeda brings plenty, however, Sead Haksabanovic looks primed for a start after eye-catching cameos from the bench.

Meanwhile, Kilmarnock have Kyle Vassell available again after the striker missed the trip to face Aberdeen through injury. Liam Polworth and Ben Chrisene are also back in training but have been earmarked for comebacks by boss Derek McInnes in a reserve game next Tuesday. Rory McKenzie completes a two-match suspension while Innes Cameron (hamstring) and Chris Stokes are out.
