Fixtures
- Hibernian Vs. Kilmarnock - Sat, Apr 04 2026, 15:00
THE LOWDOWN
David Gray’s men are currently five unbeaten in the league; picking up nine points from the last 15 available.
After defeating both St Mirren and Celtic in February, we have since drawn to Dundee (3-3), Livingstone (0-0) and Motherwell (0-0).
These results have pushed us up to 48 points from 31 matches, placing us fifth in the Premiership table.
TEAM NEWS
Centre-back Munashe Garananga was withdrawn in Zimbabwe’s match against Botswana during the international break and is unlikely to feature this weekend.
Including Gara, there are six First Team players returning from international duty, with Boyle, Suto, Hanley, Kai Andrews and Rocky all away over the international window.
Head Coach David Gray will provide a full quad update to the media on Friday afternoon at HTC.
THE VISITORS
Kilmarnock have had a mixed bag of results in recent times under new boss Neil McCann, who was hired in January in an attempt to stave off potential relegation from the Premiership.
The Ayrshire club were five points behind tenth-place St Mirren in the table when McCann was appointed, having played two games more than the Buddies, but have since clawed back to level points as the split looms.
Crucial recent wins over St Mirren, Hearts and Livingston since the beginning of February have helped cut down the deficit entirely – though a 5-1 loss to Falkirk on Saturday 28 February has harmed Killie’s goal difference, which is three worse than the Buddies’ record.
McCann was brought in following our last meeting with Kilmarnock, which resulted in a 3-1 Hibs victory on Saturday 3 January.
Elie Youan bagged a brace either side of a close-range Tyreece John-Jules strike, before Jamie McGrath sealed all three points with a stoppage-time penalty.
