Kilmarnock head to Easter Road on Tuesday evening to face Hibernian, still searching for their first league win of the Premiership season. The match kicks off at 18:45 UTC as Derek McInnes's side look to build on a hard-fought point against Aberdeen last time out.
Recent form
That 1-1 draw at Rugby Park, secured by a late Joe Hugill penalty, is part of a recent run of one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings. Kilmarnock currently sit 12th in the Premiership with just one point from their opening five matches, having scored four goals and conceded 14. Their full fixtures list shows the challenge ahead, with a home game against Falkirk to come at the end of December. In their last match, they conceded a goal in the 67th minute.
Team news
McInnes is expected to stick with a core group that includes goalkeeper Max Stryjek and defenders Michael Schjønning-Larsen and George Stanger. Midfielder Tom Lowery and forward Greg Kiltie, who provided the assist for Troyes John-Jules's goal against Aberdeen, are likely to start again. The manager has a near-full squad to choose from, with no new injuries reported from the weekend's action.
Opponent watch
Hibernian come into the match off the back of a convincing 3-0 away win at Ross County. They will be without defenders Jordan Obita and Rocky Bushiri due to injury. Hibs manager David Gray has seen his team win two of their last five, with their attack led by Callum Wright and Ante Šuto.
Kilmarnock's last trip to Edinburgh ended in a narrow defeat, and McInnes will demand a more resilient performance this time. The team returns to Rugby Park to host Falkirk on 30 December.
