Teams have been paying the price of coming up against Kilmarnock on their plastic pitch for years.
But Neil McCann and Co are utterly convinced his side will thrive on their brand-spanking new grass pitch.
It looks the part and Celtic will be the first side to experience it in Sunday’s Premiership clash – one of four games on a Super Sunday.
The champions have had an eventful week with everyone’s best wish with boss Martin O’Neill after he spent time in hospital. Celtic No.2 Shaun Maloney insists his side will be ready after their 1-0 win over Dundee on Monday night.
McCann always sees the upside in his team, however, he was left smarting by the four goals his side shipped in their pulsating seven-goal defeat to St Johnstone on the opening day.
Celtic’s £17m strike duo Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh will be itching to get off the mark with both flashing glimpses of their undoubted talents in the flag day win.
