St Mirren prepare to face Kilmarnock at the SMiSA Stadium this Saturday. The fixture carries significant weight as both clubs attempt to avoid the Scottish Premiership relegation play-off spot. According to Sky Sports, Kilmarnock currently sit in 11th place, while St Mirren occupy 10th position in the league table.
Only three points separate the two teams heading into the final stages of the post-split fixtures. Per STV News, the side finishing in 11th place must compete in a two-legged play-off against a side from the Scottish Championship to retain their top-flight status.
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes stated that his squad remains focused on securing their safety following recent results. St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson noted the importance of home advantage for the upcoming match. Both teams have struggled for consistent form during the spring period, according to reporting from the Paisley Daily Express. A victory for St Mirren would mathematically ensure their safety from the bottom two positions.
