Mohamed El Makrini fit for Killie

Mohamed El Makrini has shrugged off a knock ahead of Kilmarnock’s Ladbrokes Premiership game against St Mirren on Saturday.

The midfielder was replaced in last week’s 2-1 win over Livingston but has recovered for the visit of the Lions.

Striker Osman Sow remains out with an ankle complaint.

St Mirren midfielder Kyle McAllister is rated “touch and go” by manager Jim Goodwin.

The winger has missed the last two matches with a back problem.

Forward Cody Cooke is closing in on a comeback after a knee injury but is not expected to be involved.

Kilmarnock provisional squad: Branescu, O’Donnell, Hamalainen, Del Fabro, Findlay, Bruce, Power, McKenzie, Dicker, Wilson, El Makrini, Brophy, Millar, Thomas, Burke, St Clair, Jackson, Hendrie, Koprivec.

St Mirren provisional squad: Hladky, P McGinn, Waters, Broadfoot, MacKenzie, McLoughlin, Magennis, Erhahon, S McGinn, Flynn, Foley, Andreu, Djorkaeff, MacPherson, Durmus, Mullen, Morias, Obika, Lyness, McAllister.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
