Two clubs hoping to finish the regular season in the top six meet at Rugby Park in the Scottish Premiership on Thursday, when Kilmarnock host St Mirren.

Match Stats

Kilmarnock:

Kilmarnock will be hoping to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Hibernian when they host St Mirren at Rugby Park on Thursday. Despite that setback, Derek McInnes' side had been on an impressive run, taking eight points from four matches, including wins over Hearts and Aberdeen. With just four points separating them from the top six, Kilmarnock will look to use their solid home form to continue their push for a Championship Group spot. The club has averaged 1.5 points per game at home this season, a record that bodes well for their ambitions. However, McInnes will be cautious, knowing that the gap to the relegation playoff spot is still only four points.


St Mirren:

St Mirren, currently sitting in fifth place, will look to get back on track after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Dundee at home. That defeat came just three days after a crucial 2-1 win over Rangers, which had extended their winning streak to three games. With only a slim margin over the teams behind them, including Motherwell and Hibernian, St Mirren will need to secure a result at Rugby Park to maintain their place in the top six. However, their poor recent record against Kilmarnock will be a concern, as they have failed to win any of the last 10 meetings between the sides, including a heavy 5-2 loss on their last visit to Rugby Park.
