Motherwell head to Kilmarnock on Saturday, in the final match before the Premiership split.

Here’s the key topics going into the fixture.

Every point matters

Saturday could be crucial for both teams in the fight against relegation danger.

As it stands, Kilmarnock are bottom of the table, a point behind Hamilton in the play-off spot and 10 behind Motherwell.

A victory for Graham Alexander’s side would put them 12 clear of Killie with 15 points left to play for, which would be a strong position to take into the split.

Defeat, however, narrows the gap to seven and depending on other results, could set up a nervous few weeks.

Contrasting fortunes

After a mid-February blip, Motherwell’s form has picked up again.

A battling point at St Mirren was followed by victory at Hibernian, before a 3-1 home win over Livingston to make it five wins in the last 10 matches.

Killie meanwhile have lost nine of their last 10, with the only respite coming in a 1-1 home draw with Dundee United in late February.

Head to head

Motherwell have had success in recent trips to Ayrshire.

The last two encounters away have ended in 1-0 victories. Allan Campbell netted in the win in February this season, with Jake Carroll’s free-kick sealing the same scoreline in December 2019.

Prior to that, a 0-0 draw makes it three matches undefeated for the Steelmen away.

Kick-off at Rugby Park on Saturday is at 3pm.

Declan Gallagher and Stephen O’Donnell have been selected by Scotland for their forthcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.

The pair, an integral part of the squad who qualified for this summer’s EURO 2020 tournament, are in Steve Clarke’s selection for matches with Austria, Israel and the Faroe Islands.

Scotland start their campaign at home to Austria on Thursday, 25 March, before travelling to Tel-Aviv three days later.

Hampden then hosts the final of the triple-header against the Faroes on 31 March.

Back in action with a special kit to mark our return.

Motherwell get back to Scottish Women’s Premier League 1 action on Sunday 4 April, after a break in the season due to Covid-19.

To mark the comeback, our players have designed their own special away strip in conjunction with You Are My Sunshine, a North Lanarkshire-based mental health charity.

You can buy yours on pre-order now. The profits from every sale will be donated to YAMS. Shirts will be delivered in mid-to-late May.

“You Are My Sunshine (YAMS), Gemma’s Mental Health Charity started in 2018 after our chair, Rhonda Jones, lost her younger sister Gemma to suicide,” said a spokesperson for the charity.

“After recognising the lack of mental health support available in the area, Rhonda and a group of local volunteers decided to turn the tragedy and grief of Gemma’s death into a positive action, to ensure services and support was accessible to all in a timely manner and to prevent another person and another family going through the same pain they had suffered.”

To find out more about YAMS, or seek support, visit them on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, go to their website or email enquiries@yams.org.uk.

“We are delighted to be combining the launch of a new kit with support for YAMS,” added Alan Burrows, chief executive of Motherwell FC.

“The role they play in offering mental health support is invaluable and we are delighted to partner with them to spread the message further.

“We also extend our thanks to Pitch Teamwear for helping with the creation and purchase of the kits.”

Tale of the tape

Motherwell have won three of their last five against Kilmarnock, drawing one and losing one.

The latest match came in Ayrshire on 10 February, with Allan Campbell’s goal the difference in a 1-0 win for the visitors.

Earlier in the campaign, Kilmarnock were 2-0 winners at Fir Park, their first win in the fixture since December 2018.

Form guide

Victory over Livingston in the last outing made it two wins on the bounce for Graham Alexander’s side, and the third game in a row undefeated.

The Steelmen sit 10 points above bottom-side Kilmarnock going into the match, the sixth last league game of the 2020/21 season.

Killie are without a win in 10 matches, during which time they’ve drawn one and lost nine.

A victory over Hamilton came at home on 9 January, before defeats to Hibernian, Livingston, St Johnstone, Celtic, St Mirren, Motherwell, Rangers, Aberdeen and Ross County.
