Prediction: 2-1
St Mirren
Kilmarnock will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Hibernian when they take on St. Mirren in the Premiership round 21. The Killie are eyeing their third consecutive win at home, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Forward Daniel Armstrong is banned for the match following his sending-off at the weekend, while defender Joe Wright is a major doubt.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Dundee FC, but seeing that the Killie do not suit them, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Kilmarnock have defeated St. Mirren in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to East Ayrshire. In their last encounter at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock crushed St. Mirren 5-2.
Highlighted Team (Kilmarnock):
Founded on January 5, 1869, Kilmarnock are the oldest professional club in Scotland. The Killie welcome their opponents at Rugby Park, the stadium with the artificial turf. The venue, which was opened back in August 1899, can hold up to 17,889 people.
Kilmarnock won their first and only Scotland Premier League trophy in the 1964/65 season despite being level on points with Hearts at the end of the season. Fellow Ayrshire club Ayr United are considered the Killie’s bitterest rivals. The two teams have been facing each other in the Ayrshire derby since September 1910.
Dark blue is the dominant colour of the club’s home kit, while Kilmarnock footballers wear yellow and blues kit when playing on the travels. The Killie recorded their biggest win back in 1896, with the team beating Saltcoats Victoria 13-2 in the second round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup. The club suffered their biggest defeat in August 1938 as they were hammered by Celtic 9-1 in the Scottish League Division.
