Finally, there seems to be a bit of positivity around Celtic. The club won in mid-week, against all expectations, despite naming a weakened starting XI against Besiktas.

That is how football is sometimes. The weakened version of a team that was completely out of form and had picked up zero points from their opening three games beat a side that was undefeated and sitting at eighth in the Europa League table coming into the contest.

Now, it is important that Celtic take advantage of the newfound momentum and go on a good run of form. Otherwise, the result against Besiktas will go down as a fluke.

Standing in their way next are Kilmarnock. The visitors are sitting at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership right now. In many ways, this feels like the perfect opportunity for Celtic to get another big result.

Obviously, it might not prove that straightforward. You never know what version of this Celtic team you are going to get on the pitch.

The Scottish FA have announced that John Beaton will be the referee for the game between Celtic and Kilmarnock today.

Beaton will have David Roome and Gordon McCabe as his two assistants. Colin Steven has been named the fourth official.

Grant Irvine will be on VAR duty. And he will have Dan McFarlane as his assistant when Celtic take on Kilmarnock at Parkhead.

Obviously, there is not much that needs to be said regarding the history between Celtic and Beaton. Unfortunately, it will always be a topic of discussion whenever he is handed the responsibility of taking charge of the Hoops' games.

Both sets of fans should hope that there are no controversial calls on the day and the refereeing decisions do not end up having a real impact on the winner of the game.

It will be very interesting to see the kind of starting XI that Martin O'Neill puts on against Kilmarnock.

Many felt that his selection against Besiktas was an indication that Celtic had given up on Europe for the season and were focused on the results domestically, and somehow turning them around.

That is the reason why key players like Camilo Duran and Callum Osmand were left on the bench before coming on and eventually winning the match for Celtic as impact substitutes.

So, expect to see a full-strength Celtic starting XI against Kilmarnock, at least when it comes to the players who are available.
