Kilmarnock – Motherwell

Kilmarnock host Motherwell in what promises to be a stark clash of ambitions, with the Ayr side languishing at 12th place on just a single point after four defeats and a solitary draw, having scored only four goals while conceding 14. Motherwell arrive in Rugby Park considerably better placed, sitting 21st with ten points from three wins, a draw and two losses, and a modest positive goal difference of 10‑8. The hosts will be desperate to snap their winless run and close the gap at the bottom, while the visitors will look to consolidate their mid‑table safety by picking up another three points. Both teams know that a single result could dramatically reshape the lower half of the table as the season pushes on.
