History of the Kilmarnock v Falkirk fixture

Kilmarnock play host to Falkirk at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Killie are clearly on top, having won 38 and lost only 9 of the 68 games.

The last time the two teams met at Kilmarnock was back in April 1996, over five years ago, the Killie carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
