Team news first of all and Kilmarnock have Darren Barr and Jackson Irvine out due to suspension, as a result of being issued red cards in the previous game against St Johnstone. For the Steelmen - Simon Ramsden, Steve Hamell and Steve Hollis are very doubtful and make not make this game Steve Craswell is also doubtful and Euan Murray is on the sidelines with a muscle injury. Shaun Hutchison however makes a return to the squad.
In Kilmarnock's previous game with Motherwell back in August, the Steelmen won 2-1 and last season, it was one of each for both sides. By that I mean,a win, a loss and a draw. Kilmarnock's awful season may mean that the Lanarkshire, could have the upper hand but realisictally, you never know what the result will be until the whistle is blown at 4.55pm.
