I’m very much a club before country fan so these international breaks are just a distraction before we get back to the real stuff.
It’s all the worse when the break is for friendlies where Scotland are generally poor and they erode our positivity prior to the World Cup. Thankfully, Killie are back in business this weekend and a good number of fans will make the trip to Easter Road on Saturday.
Our record on the other side of Edinburgh is excellent, however Killie do not have a great record against Hibernian. We fought out an entertaining draw earlier in the season and a repeat result would be decent again this time around.
We only have half-a-dozen games left after this so there is no room for below-par performances when points are at a premium. We have every chance of coming away with a result if our defence can continue their mean spirit shown in the past two games, I’ll predict a 1-1 draw.
