William Hill Scottish Premiership – Matchday 18
Sunday 20th – December – 3:00pm | BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, Kilmarnock
Last Time Out: Killie
Kilmarnock took the lead after 16 minutes when Tyreece John-Jules was slipped through by James Brown and calmly chipped Dimitar Mitov. Killie created further chances through Liam Polworth and Bruce Anderson, while a first-half penalty award was overturned by VAR. Aberdeen threatened before the break, with chances for Topi Keskinen and Kevin Nisbet, but the sides went in level. After the restart, Killie were indebted to George Stanger for crucial goal-line blocks, before substitute Kenan Bilalovic equalised late on. Aberdeen then sealed the win from the penalty spot after a handball decision, with Jesper Karlsson converting following a VAR check.
Last Time Out: Falkirk
Falkirk head into the clash with Killie on the back of a defeat to league leaders Hearts, Falkirk fell behind early and struggled to create clear chances, managing just one effort on goal after the break. Their best opportunity came when Kyrell Wilson rounded the goalkeeper, only for his effort to be blocked on the line. Hearts ran out 2-0 winners in the end with goals from Claudio Braga & Stephen Kingsley.
