Footymad preview History of the Kilmarnock v Hibernian fixture

Hibernian face a trip to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hibees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in February 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
