Kilmarnock have won both previous meetings with Ayr this season

Kilmarnock have had their new year derby with Ayr United in the Scottish Championship postponed until 9 February in the hope of more fans being allowed.

The Rugby Park fixture was scheduled for 2 January, but a crowd of only 500 would have been permitted under new Scottish government Covid rules.

Ayr agreed to rearrange after being guaranteed a "strong representation" of away fans, subject to restrictions.

Kilmarnock "thank the SPFL and Police Scotland" for accepting the request.
