Despite all of Celtic’s domestic success, Kilmarnock are largely considered to be the best side in Scotland in 2018.
Steve Clarke has overseen a miraculous year at the helm and his side arrive at Fir Park looking to end the year on a high.
Here, we take a look at the Ayrshire outfit.
It may be early in the campaign, but as things stand, Kilmarnock are still within reach of the title challengers.
Celtic sit top of the tree at Christmas, with Rangers just one point behind and Kilmarnock four points off the pace.
It may be ambitious to imagine, but if Killie can carry on the form that has seen them become the best side of the year so far, they could push Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen all the way.
Greg Stewart has played a direct part in 41% of Kilmarnock’s goals this season.
Scoring eight and assisting four of Kilmarnock’s 29 goals in the league is a stunning return for the former Dons man.
There is arguably no player more important to their side than Stewart at the moment.
The Ayrshire outfit have had a strong run of form over the Steelmen, picking up three wins in the last three clashes between the two sides.
The last time the two faced each other at Fir Park, Killie won 1-0 thanks to a Stephen O’Donnell strike.
Prior to those three wins for Killie, ‘Well won three clashes in a row with the Rugby Park side.

The number of games against Kilmarnock since the Steelmen last notched a victory.

The last win Motherwell picked up against the Ayrshire side was a 2-0 win in September 2017.
The combined number of goals between the two clubs top scorers in the league.
Danny Johnson has bagged six so far this term, firing the Steelmen to some crucial victories along the way.
Greg Stewart, meanwhile, has scored eight for the Ayrshire outfit.
The total number of points Kilmarnock have picked up in 2018.
No side has had a better 12 months than Steve Clarke’s Killie, who are a point better off than Celtic across the year.
The Ayrshire outfit have lost just five league games all year under the stewardship of Clarke.
Kilmarnock are the Boxing Day visitors to Fir Park.
Here’s a look ahead to the game.
Motherwell got themselves a goal to the good in the first meeting between the two sides earlier in the campaign at Rugby Park, through Curtis Main’s strike. They then had the chance to go two goals up from the spot, but Main saw his effort saved.
The home side were galvanised, netting two before the break before sealing a 3-1 win after the break.
Kilmarnock sit just four points off the top of the table with half of the season played.
In their last five games, they’ve won their three home matches, but lost to Celtic and drawn to Hamilton on the road.
Motherwell arrive at the game off the back of a 1-0 home loss to St Mirren. It marked the Steelmen’s third defeat in five, with a draw with Celtic and a win over St Johnstone also in the mix.

Keith Lasley reflects on this afternoon’s 1-0 defeat against St Mirren in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
The assistant manager admitted the Steelmen were not good enough as they slipped to a disappointing loss at Fir Park.
