Last time out

HIBERNIAN

Hibs’ last match ended in a goalless stalemate against top-six rivals Motherwell at Fir Park.

David Gray’s side sit just six points behind the Lanarkshire outfit, who have been widely praised all season. They’re also only five ahead of Falkirk, who currently occupy sixth spot in the standings.

This is their final home game before the split, with a trip to Aberdeen on the cards next week.

KILMARNOCK

Neil McCann’s men made it two home wins on the bounce before the international break as Killie dispatched of Livingston 2-0.

Joe Hugill and Findlay Curtis were the scorers, as the team’s January additions netted in either half to assure the hosts of the points.

The victory eased fears of automatic relegation, with Livingston left trailing by 12 points as a result. Killie are level on points with St Mirren, while they are only three behind Aberdeen heading into this weekend.
