Preview: Kilmarnock (a)

Of course simply turning up at Kilmarnock won't be enough to give us three points. They are a completely different prospect from last season as Jim Jefferies appears to have turned things round for them once more.

Happy boys last time out

They are incredibly solid at the back - they didn't concede at all for the first five or six games - and though their strikers are hardly prolific, the midfield chips in with enough goals to keep them ticking over.

We, on the other hand, have won our last two league games but cup exits to Nancy and Hamilton are still fresh in the memory.

The front trio that was selected last time all found the net so changes there are unlikely although there is a minor worry at the back over Craigan. He missed out for Northern Ireland due to a small injury but it will be hoped he is fit enough to play here.

We will need to be at our best to take something but we do seem gradually to be finding our form once more. Third will have to wait but we will be happy enough to return home with a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw.

Remember the last time we were at Rugby Park?
