Premiership previews

It's back to domestic business after the highs and lows of the international break, but the bad news is that only three Scottish Premiership fixtures survive the red weather warning issued for the north and east of the country as a result of Storm Babet.

Ross County v St Mirren, Aberdeen v Dundee and St Johnstone v Motherwell have been postponed.

But here's the latest team news and statistics for the games that remain.

All kick-offs Saturday 15:00 BST unless specified.

Kilmarnock v Livingston

Forwards Rory McKenzie and Marley Watkins, plus midfielder Liam Donnelly, all return from injury for Kilmarnock.

It leaves midfielder Kyle Magennis as the only absentee from Derek McInnes' squad.

Midfielder Danny Lloyd and defenders Mikey Devlin and Cristian Montano are all back in contention for Livingston.

Defender Michael Nottingham is close to a comeback following an Achilles problem.

Did you know? Kilmarnock are without a win in seven outings, including four at home.
