Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to take on Kilmarnock.

The Parkhead club host Derek McInnes' side in a 3pm kick-off this afternoon.

Celtic have the chance to go 12 points clear at the top of the league with a win - as Rangers do not play until Sunday.

Joe Hart starts in goal with a back four of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Alexandro Bernabei.

Callum McGregor is joined by Reo Hatate and Aaron Mooy in the centre with Daizen Maeda, Jota and Kyogo Furuhashi in the frontline.

Quizzed on his thoughts on facing Kilmarnock - who Celtic beat 5-0 earlier in the season - Postecoglou said: "We played well that day. Derek [McInnes] has solidified them since then. They have become a lot more structured.

"When you come up as a team, it is obviously hard. They are a lot more consistent and it will be a tough test for us tomorrow, especially as we are at home, and it comes down to us and we have both the tempo and the intensity in the game that we know we need to have to put them under pressure.

"That is still going to be the key cornerstone of our success."

CELTIC XI: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Bernabei, McGregor, Hatate, Mooy, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

SUBS: Bain, Jenz, Giakoumakis, Abada, Turunbull, Kobayashi, O'Riley, Forrest, Juranovic.

KILMARNOCK XI: Walker, Mayo, Taylor, Wright, Stokes, Chrisene, McKenzie, Power, Polworth, Robinson, Vassell.

SUBS: Hemming, Sanders, Waters, McInroy, Lyons, Alston, Armstrong, Murray, Doidge.
