Footymad preview History of the Hibernian v Kilmarnock fixture

Kilmarnock face a trip to Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Killie will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 63 and win only 24 of the 112 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road was less than a year ago, in April 2012, with Kilmarnock inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Hibees in a Scottish Premier match.
