Kilmarnock Preview – Can Killie make swift return to top flight?
Despite winning their final game in the second phase of last season’s Premiership in the Relegation Group against Hamilton Academicals, Kilmarnock finally succumbed to relegation after losing 4-2 on aggregate against Championship side, Dundee, in the play-offs and the hosts will now seek a swift return to the top flight this term.
Kilmarnock hold home advantage at Rugby Park for this Monday night’s clash against Ayr United who finished third from bottom in last season’s Championship standings, and as Kilmarnock have actually lost just twice in their previous 10 matches at home in all competitions, the hosts will be in confident mood here.
Ayr United Preview – Can Ayr avoid another relegation battle?
A worrying run of seven matches without a win had dumped Ayr United in a relegation battle towards the end of last season in the Championship but four draws within this sequence proved to be just enough to keep their heads above water for another season.
This season, Ayr United have made a promising start after winning three of their four League Cup fixtures to given them early momentum, beating the like of Edinburgh City, Hamilton Academical and Falkirk respectively.
However, with just three away wins throughout the whole of last season, Ayr may find themselves up against it on Monday night at Kilmarnock.
