St Mirren v Kilmarnock: mid-table push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

St Mirren host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, 27 December 2025 in Paisley, with the hosts eyeing a climb up the bottom half and the visitors trying to halt a slide that has left them 11th.

Kilmarnock won the league meeting in October 2-0, while the clubs drew 2-2 after extra time in September's League Cup quarter final, where St Mirren converted all five penalties and Kilmarnock missed one. Across the listed head to heads, Kilmarnock have 11 wins to St Mirren's three, with eight draws.

St Mirren arrive with momentum, winning three of their past four in all competitions and drawing the other. Kilmarnock are winless in five league games, following back to back draws with three defeats.

Season trends point to clear routes. St Mirren have scored four headed goals and deliver plenty of crosses from open play, with Declan John on four league assists. Kilmarnock have conceded 33 league goals and seven penalties, so discipline in the box may be pivotal, while Bruce Anderson's three league goals and their 47.89% shooting accuracy suggest they can punish lapses.

St Mirren sit ninth on 17 points and a win would take them to 20, pushing them closer to mid table safety. Kilmarnock are 11th on 12 points and victory would move them to 15 and could ease relegation pressure.
