Kilmarnock chairman Jim Mann has taken umbrage over the club's five post-split fixtures and has written to Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster in protest.

Mann is upset that the club have been allocated only two home fixtures - against Hamilton Academical and Ross County - and that their request for a home game on April 25 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their sole title-winning season has been denied.

He said: "I feel very aggravated about the contents of the post-split fixtures and have protested in the strongest possible fashion to the SPFL.

"I do not feel our request to host a home fixture to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the club's only title success was unreasonable and I felt that I had a duty to our fans and importantly our season ticket holders to speak up".

It is understood that the SPFL are prepared to meet the club to address the issues they have raised.
