Hibs will hope to bounce back from their Scottish Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Celtic when they return to Premiership action with a visit to Kilmarnock on Saturday.
For David Gray’s side, the game will offer an opportunity to boost their hopes of returning to European competition and continue a remarkable run of form that has consisted of just one defeat in their last 16 league games.
That momentum built up with impressive wins against the likes of title favourites Celtic, Edinburgh rivals Hearts and fellow European challengers Aberdeen have taken Hibs into third place in the table and a quickfire return to European competition now appears to be a genuine prospect.
Hopes of returning to continental competition should be raised by what has been an impressive recent record against Kilmarnock. Ahead of Saturday’s visit to Rugby Park, we take a look at the last ten Premiership clashes between the two sides.
