Kilmarnock could hand a debut to new defender Johnly Yfeko in their Premiership clash against St Johnstone, but Robbie Deas will miss the game through suspension. The Rugby Park side finished 11th last season with 28 points, six wins, 10 draws and 17 losses from 33 games, ending with a DLWWL form streak. They scored 37 goals and conceded 65, finishing 42 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian.
Who could play for Kilmarnock?
New signing Johnly Yfeko is in line to make his first appearance for Kilmarnock after joining the club. The defender's inclusion would bolster Derek McInnes' options at the back, especially with Robbie Deas serving a suspension after accumulating too many yellow cards last season. The team will be looking to improve on their defensive record from last season, where they conceded 65 goals.
What are St Johnstone's options?
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari has a full squad to choose from, giving him plenty of options for selection. The Perth side will be aiming to start the new season on a positive note after a challenging campaign last year. Kilmarnock will need to be at their best to counter St Johnstone's attacking threats.
What's next for Kilmarnock?
After facing St Johnstone, Kilmarnock will prepare for their next fixture against Rangers on December 26, 2026. The match will be a tough test for the team, as Rangers are currently second in the Premiership table. Kilmarnock will be looking to build momentum and improve their standing in the league.
