Team News

Ross County
Kilmarnock
  • Ross County boss Don Cowie made two changes after the Staggies fell to a 2-1 defeat to Celtic in Dingwall, before they were swept aside by St Johnstone 3-0 as they went down to nine men at McDiarmid Park last weekend.
  • Ryan Leak, Akil Wright and Kacper Lopata continued as the trio of County centre-backs behind Ross Laidlaw in goal. Elijah Campbell kept his place on the left side of defence but was sent off, as Michee Efete continued at right wing-back.
  • Connor Randall and Josh Nisbet were joined by Scott Allardice in midfield. Noah Chilvers and Aidan Denholm dropped onto the bench, as Eamonn Brophy joined Ronan Hale in attack.
  • Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes made just one change after Killie's terrific late turnaround saw them leave Dens Park with three points after a 3-2 victory over Dundee, before a sole goal was enough to beat Rangers on Sunday at Rugby Park.
  • Robby McCrorie continued in goal behind a back four of Corrie Ndaba, the incoming Stuart Findlay, Robbie Deas and Lewis Mayo as Killie switched shape to a 4-4-2 as David Watson was the man to make way in midfield.
  • Matty Kennedy and Danny Armstrong continued on the flanks, with Brad Lyons and Liam Donnelly in the middle of the park. Kyle Vassell and Marley Watkins, who netted the late winner, lead the line last weekend.

Prediction

  • The hosts in tenth take on the seventh-placed visitors, as Ross County host Kilmarnock in the Highlands on Saturday afternoon.
  • Ross County's away day woes continued - the Staggies are winless in 20 Scottish Premiership matches (since a 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock in September 2023) - as they were swept aside by St Johnstone in Perth as Saints moved level on points with them in the league table. However - home and away - County have won just one win in their last 11 league fixtures, drawing six of them.
  • Kilmarnock's season looks to have lift-off, as their dramatic late turnaround at Dens Park against Dundee was succeeded by a sole-goal success against Rangers. They had only won one of their previous 10 meetings with the Gers, a 1-0 win on the opening day last season, but back-to-back Scottish Premiership victories have eased Killie's fears and they can look up as opposed to down.
  • The three meetings between Ross County and Kilmarnock last season saw just two goals scored so, given last weekend's results, it seems more likely that Killie will sneak past County up north.
