Kilmarnock captain Manuel Pascali has returned from suspension to claim a place in the starting XI against Ross County.

The Staggies have recalled Richard Brittain to their midfield after he recovered from an illness, but defender Darren Barr has been deemed unfit to face his former club.

Brittain is joined in the centre of the park by Rocco Quinn, who passed a fitness test to make the starting lineup.

A win for Killie could move them level on points with Celtic in third, while victory for the Staggies will move them off the foot of the table.

Killie: Samson, Barbour, Pascali, Connolly, Chantler, McKenzie, Clingan, Hamill, Johnston, Eremenko, Magennis

Staggies: Brown, Irvine, Boyd, Quinn, Reckord, Gardyne, Woods, Brittain, Carey, Dingwall, Jervis
