Both sides laying at 100 miles per hour just now. Someone just needs to get a foot on the ball.

Ricki Lamie gives away another free-kick. Chris Burke delivers for Killie, to no great effect.

Kilmarnock defender Zech Medley handles the ball on the edge of the box to give Motherwell a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Tony Watt's effort comes of the wall, though. Barry Maguire will be annoyed. He was firmly making the case that he should be the one taking it!

Ooft, Clevid Dikamona is unmarked and should have probably planted the ball into the net. He can't connect properly, though, and it comes off a Motherwell defender for a corner.

Ricki Lamie trips Nicke Bamaba on the right-hand side of the box. An early chance for Killie to get the ball in...

The Tommy Wright era at Kilmarnock begins!

A new slimline Kilmarnock manager Tommy Wright tells BBC Scotland: "I feel great, I've been walking a lot, and I'm probably only about half a stone off my playing weight.

"The challenge of it is what drew me to Kilmarnock. I have to get them up the table, that's the first thought in my mind. This is a big club, we saw the success Steve Clarke had here and that will be my aim to get back to that sort of success in the next few seasons."

Kilmarnock have lost their last five Premiership games, the second time they have been on such a run in the league this season.

The last time, they ended it with a 2-0 win against Motherwell on 30 December. What are the chances they do so again here?

Motherwell manager Graham Alexander tells BBC Scotland: "I think there's a myth around a new manager bounce. I think it's about the work you do on the training pitch and how the players respond to that.

"Tommy [Wright] is a good manager, rather than being a new manager, that's what I would say. That's where any positive response from Kilmarnock will come from."

Graham Alexander has steadied the Motherwell ship since taking over last month amid a difficult run of fixtures. They drew with Rangers, lost to Aberdeen and Celtic, while beating Ross County and Dundee United.

Tonight's match against a struggling Kilmarnock is the first chance to get themselves nudging up the table, with a kinder run of Hamilton, St Johnstone, and St Mirren to come.

For Tommy Wright's first team selection as Kilmarnock manager, he makes four changes to the side that lost at the weekend to St Mirren.

It appears to be more of a defensive line-up, with Zeno Ibsen Rossi dropped, but Aaron McGowan and Clevid Dikamona coming into the backline.

Forwards Danny Whitehall and Brandon Pierrick drop to the bench, as does midfielder Aaron Tshibola, with Chris Burke and Nicke Kabamba starting.

Motherwell go with the same team that started at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Only a goalline clearance in time added on from Diego Laxalt denied them a point against the champions.

Guess who's back? Back again. Tommy's back. Tell a friend.

Yes, St Johnstone's most successful manager has returned to Scottish football nine months after ending his seven-year spell in Perth.

He's tasked with reviving the fortunes of another team in blue and white, Kilmarnock. Wright said this week he's "walked the length of the Sahara" during his time off, and is now raring to go.

We'll soon see if he's made a quick impact.

Livingston and Hamilton were due to play at 18:00 in West Lothian, but the snow has won the day.

Eight inches of it has fallen on the plastic pitch, which is enough to make clearing it impossible.
