Scott Bain was positioned in goal. Scott Tanser took Leon McCann's place at left-back in their only change, as Liam Henderson was joined by Lewis Neilson in the heart of the Bairns defence, and Ryan Strain stayed at right-back.
Brad Spencer was positioned in the midfield alongside Ben Krauhaus and Finley Barbrook once again. Ethan Ross and Owen Eames provided support to Jacob Murrell - who netted twice - in attack at Easter Road.
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann made one change to the Killie team that lost 3-1 to Rangers at Ibrox upon their return to Scottish Premiership action, before securing a 3-2 victory over Motherwell at Rugby Park last Saturday afternoon.

Bailey Rice was ineligible to play against his parent club, so he couldn't face Rangers. He replaced Aaron Tshibola to join Tom Lowery in midfield. Erik Ring, Tyreece John-Jules and Greg Kiltie provided support to Joe Hugill in the Killie attack.
