We're under way at Rugby Park.

Alfredo Morelos fires the ball into the net but the Colombian's celebrations are short-lived as the striker's flagged for offside.

Here come the teams, trotting out at a blustery Rugby Park.

Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer names an unchanged team today following his side's 2-1 win over Rangers on Wednesday, and speaking to BBC Sportsound pre-match, Dyer says that his players have "earned the right to play" given the upturn in form.

"They've worked hard and they've earned the right to play. [It's been down to] hard work, training well and every side needs a bit of luck, but we've worked hard as a team and a unit so long may that continue."

A win today for Kilmarnock would see them overtake Hibs in the Scottish Premiership's top six, and given the targets Dyer set when he got the job at Rugby Park it only increases the importance of today's game.

"When I got the job our aim was to get back into the top six. It takes time and effort but the boys have put themselves in that position, not just me.

"It’s them that go out and work hard. It’s important now that we grasp it and give it all we’ve got today."

There’s an opportunity for both sides to put pressure on the upper end of the Premiership.

Kilmarnock are in superb form, buoyed by that fabulous victory over Rangers midweek and an impressive run of league wins behind that.

Likewise Hibernian have positioned themselves well just inside the top six as they look to put pressure on Livingston in 5th.

Both sides retain their midweek starting eleven, a measure of their recent success. With both going with two up front it might be a treat for supporters on another blustery occasion.

Hibernian manager Jack Ross tells BBC Sportsound: "Both teams came off good results in midweek and are so close together in the table at the moment.

"Everything points to it being a good game. The conditions will be difficult, I'm not going to lie. We'll see what happens once the game gets going but you've just got to adapt and deal with it."

Honours even in difficult conditions at Ibrox. Rangers have struggled to break Livingston down but when they have seen daylight have been unable to beat goalkeeper Ryan Schofield.

Livingston defender Jon Guthrie is the latest player to be booked, for a late sliding challenge on Connor Goldson.

Ryan Schofield has been equal to anything Rangers have fired at him in the first half at Ibrox. The keeper denies Steven Davis, saving the midfielder's rasping drive.

Both Kilmarnock and Hibernian stick with the same starting line-ups that posted wins in midweek.

Kilmarnock beat Rangers 2-1 to stay one point behind Hibs, and a win this afternoon would put them into the top six.

Hibs were 3-0 winners against Ross County after goals from Marc McNulty, Christian Doidge and Adam Jackson, and they could move within five points of third place if they can pick up the three points in Ayrshire.

What a save from Ryan Schofield. The Livingston keeper denies Andy Halliday, deflecting his effort onto the bar.

Livingston defender Steve Lawson is booked for a trip on Hagi.
