Killie's 1-0 victory at St Johnstone last weekend was only their second win in 13 games.[LNB]Hibernian have enjoyed far better fortunes ahead of their trip to Ayrshire with a nine-match unbeaten run taking them to within two points of SPL leaders Celtic.[LNB]Zemmama has been an integral part of their success after he and Benjelloun, who hit the only goal against Killie at Easter Road in October, returned to Easter Road in the summer following loan spells.[LNB]But Taouil is not concerning himself with outshining his fellow Moroccans, just stretching Killie's four-point lead over bottom club Falkirk.[LNB]"In every game you have motivation," said Taouil, who was born in France but has represented Morocco in the 2004 Olympics.[LNB]"It's a little bit special when you play your friends but it's still the same motivation. We need to win and we're going to give everything."[LNB]Zemmama has been at the crux of Hibernian's flair play in recent weeks and Taouil said: "It's good for him, he is a really nice guy. I'm happy for him, hopefully he will have a good season with Hibs.[LNB]"But hopefully on Saturday we are going to win and I am going to do everything to get the win."[LNB]Former Nancy and Montpellier midfielder Taouil hopes last weekend's victory at McDiarmid Park can help Killie turn performances into points in the weeks ahead.[LNB]"To have a good run you always have to start with one," said the 26-year-old, who has yet to score this season.[LNB]"We started last week and hopefully we can go on and have some more.[LNB]"Even if we have bad results, we have played some good games.[LNB]"We didn't deserve to get beat in maybe more than half of the losses we have had.[LNB]"So hopefully now we can keep going and take the chances and win games. I will feel better if we have good results."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
