Kilmarnock preview: In a solid form recently
After three wins in a row when playing at home in the Premiership, Kilmarnock lost to Ross County at home in the last round. Still, they've done well lately with three wins in their last six games in the league, which helped them rise above Hearts in the standings and create more of a separation between them and the last-placed St Johnstone.
When it comes to team news, Stuart Findlay, Kyle Vassell, and Innes Cameron are on Kilmarnock's injury list ahead of this game.
Predicted lineup: McCrorie (GK), Lyons, Wright, Mayo, Ndaba, Armstrong, Watson, Donnelly, Murray, Watkins & Anderson

Player to watch: Bruce Anderson
With eight goals in the Premiership in 16 appearances, only eight of which were starts, Anderson has been in great form and Kilmarnock will rely on the experienced forward to deliver the goods once again as they host Motherwell this Wednesday.
