Kilmarnock v St Mirren: bottom club meet unbeaten high-flyers | OneFootball

Kilmarnock host St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership at Rugby Park on 2 September 2026, with the bottom side seeking a first point while the visitors look to extend an unbeaten start that has them second.

The hosts can point to recent head to head encouragement: Kilmarnock won 3-0 away to St Mirren in May. This time, the table paints a starker picture. Kilmarnock are 12th without a point, St Mirren arrive in form near the summit.

Form lines are clear. Kilmarnock have lost three league games, conceding 13 and scoring four, including a 4-0 home defeat last time out. St Mirren have opened with two wins and a draw, scoring six and keeping two clean sheets, most recently sharing a 3-3 at home to Motherwell.

Key threats and routes to goal could prove decisive. Killian Phillips leads St Mirren's scoring with three league goals, while Samuel Ramos has supplied two assists. For Kilmarnock, Tom Lowery has created two assists and the hosts' deliveries from wide may be a route, with open play cross accuracy at 35.90.

A home win would lift Kilmarnock to three points and could take them off the bottom. Victory for St Mirren would move them to 10 points and strengthen their grip on the top two. Kilmarnock then visit Aberdeen, while St Mirren are set to host Celtic.
