Kilmarnock face a trip to Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle Stadium 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 55 and win only 20 of the 101 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
