Footymad preview History of the Motherwell v Kilmarnock fixture

Kilmarnock face a trip to Motherwell at Fir Park 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 ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Fir Park was just last season, in October 2011, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
