History of the Kilmarnock v Falkirk fixture

Falkirk face a trip to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bairns will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 42 and win only 11 of the 76 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
