Neil Lennon has urged his Celtic players to be wary of 'streetwise' Kilmarnock ahead of their visit to Parkhead tomorrow.
The Hoops got back to winning ways against Lille in midweek and earned their first win at Celtic Park since December.
Lennon now wants to use the momentum to close the 13-point gap on Rangers at the top of the table.
However, he doesn't expect Alex Dyer's men to be pushovers after they drew 1-1 with at Rugby Park earlier in the season.
He said: "They are such a difficult team at times to break down, particularly at home.
"But they have had some good results in Glasgow, they are a smart, streetwise team.
"Alex has continued on in his own style from Steve (Clarke, former Killie boss), they have that great sort of togetherness and I expect it to be, under the circumstances, as tough as any game we will get."
After bringing goalkeeper Conor Hazard, David Turnbull and Ismaila Soro, into the side for the Lille game, Lennon will have to decide whether to retain them or return to more experienced men such as Vasilis Barkas, Scott Brown and Ryan Christie.
He said: "We have to win a lot of games now but they have done it before.
"It is just a question of, and it is an old cliche, taking it step by step, just looking at the next game, putting in a performance.
"Are we capable of winning it (Killie)? Of course we are, and we will take it from there.
"We would love them to have the same mindset (as in the Lille game), not to put too much pressure on them and let them go and play the same way if we can because if they do they are a very good, exciting team to watch and we know that they are capable of that as well."
