Kilmarnock v Falkirk: survival fight meets top-six push | OneFootball

Kilmarnock host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, 20 December 2025 at Rugby Park, with the hosts looking to climb from 11th while the visitors aim to press a top six bid.

Kilmarnock meet Falkirk with 11th facing 7th. The Bairns won the reverse fixture 3-1 in November.

Kilmarnock drew with Hearts and Dundee United before defeats to Rangers and Aberdeen. The Bairns' recent run featured a 3-0 win at Dundee United and goalless draws with Rangers and Motherwell, followed by losses to Hibernian and Hearts.

Kilmarnock have scored 17 and conceded 32, averaging 38% possession and conceding seven penalties. The Bairns have 19 for and 26 against, 50% possession, four clean sheets and only three penalties conceded. Routes to goal could come inside the area for both, with Bruce Anderson on three league goals for Kilmarnock, and Brian Graham, Ross MacIver and Calvin Miller on three apiece for The Bairns. Miller and Ethan Williams have supplied three assists each.

A home win would take Kilmarnock to 15 points and could lift them from 11th, easing pressure near the foot. Victory would move The Bairns to 24 points and could nudge them towards the top six. A draw would keep both broadly on their current tracks.
