Footymad preview History of the St. Johnstone v Kilmarnock fixture

St. Johnstone prepare to entertain Kilmarnock at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 25 of the 56 previous games, with the Saints winning just 15.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at McDiarmid Park was less than a year ago, in April 2011, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
