Last Meeting
Dundee lost 3-2 at Rugby Park last February, throwing away the points in a game in which they looked hot favourites to win midway through the second half. They got off to a bad start when Eamonn Brophy gave Killie an early lead. The Dee then went on to take charge and Sofien Moussa scored a deserved equaliser from the penalty spot. When Steven Caulker headed Dundee into the lead early in the second half and Gary Dicker was sent off the home side were struggling. However, Kilmarnock’s substitutes rescued them. Lee Erwin set up Kris Boyd to equalise and Iain Wilson scored a late winner to give Kille an unlikely win.

Kilmarnock’s Season So Far
Kilmarnock’s season started with a Betfred Cup penalty defeat to Premiership newcomers St Mirren but they still topped their group after defeating Dumbarton, Spartans and Queens Park.
However those dropped points in the opening game cost Killie a seeding in the draw and when they were paired with Rangers, they were knocked after a 3-1 defeat at Rugby Park.
Killie opened their Premiership campaign with a 2-0 home win over St Johnstone but followed that up with a draw away at Livingston and a defeat to Hearts.
Kilmarnock bounced back with an excellent 2-0 win at Pittodrie before being unlucky to lose 3-2 at Easter Road but when they returned to Rugby Park they continued their recent good record against Celtic with a last minute 2-1 win and then a 3-1 victory over Motherwell.
