Kilmarnock travel to Paisley to face fourth-place St Mirren in their final away fixture of 2023, hoping to extend their unbeaten streak to five games.
Team news
Derek McInnes will be hoping that Matty Kennedy and Liam Donnelly are back in contention for this match. In contrast, Kyle Magennis and Innes Cameron remain on the sidelines, both with hamstring problems.
As for St Mirren, they will be hoping that Conor McMenamin has shaken off the illness which kept him out of the Buddies' 2-0 defeat against Hearts. Stephen Robinson will definitely be without Ryan Strain, who is still recovering, having undergone groin surgery.
Last time out...
When the two sides last met, they played out a 1-1 at Rugby Park in September, with goals from Killie midfielder and former Buddie Brad Lyons and an own from St Mirren academy graduate Kyle Magennis, who left the pitch with a hamstring tear (which he is still suffering from) moments later.
