Killie in a sentence

Alan Brown, the SNP MP for Kilmarnock & Loudon, and a Killie fan, said: “This would be a complete and utter waste of police time and resources.

Celtic huffed and puffed but failed to find a leveller after Killie opened the scoring with a few half-chances and half-shouts for penalties waved away.

Celtic ran out comfortable 2-0 winner when Killie visited Parkhead in the cinch Premiership at the weekend and there were few outside Rugby Park who gave the Ayrshire side a chance.

Derek McInnes' side were involved in a relegation fight towards the latter stages of the campaign but Killie managed to retain their Premiership status as Lyons netted in a final day success against Ross County.

He will challenge Bournemouth loanee Will Dennis for the No.1 spot at Killie.

If United beat Killie then they are guaranteed to leapfrog the Ayrshire outfit.

I said in this column a fortnight ago that teams were losing the fear factor at the thought of playing Celtic and Killie just backed up my theory.

Killie fans took to social media to praise the new kit design.

Robson was recently appointed Aberdeen manager until the end of the season after an encouraging six-game run as caretaker boss, while McInnes – who left Pittodrie two years ago – is currently in charge of Killie.

Tavernier looks forward to putting things right against Killie at Ibrox in the final game before the winter break.

The Aussie didn't stop there with his quirky answers as he was asked if he had tasted the famous Killie pie.

You would think it was Killie who had millions of pounds worth of players on the pitch.

And Killie boss Derek McInnes – who was on punditry duties for TNT Sport last night - was quick to fire back at the Belgian.

Celtic get back into their groove and knock it about across the pitch, waiting for a gap to open up for them to attack and cut through Killie.

European football is already guaranteed, with Killie unable to finish any lower than fifth.

He’s played a crucial role, alongside partner Liam Polworth, in providing defensive cover but also a platform for Killie’s attacking outlets to cause damage to opposition teams.

I certainly missed the first goal while waiting on a Killie pie!

Killie made just one change from the team that lost narrowly to Rangers on Wednesday night with Deas replacing Stuart Findlay.

Luke McCowan equalised but missed a late penalty as the Dark Blues were held at home by Killie.

That trio tormented Killie at times.
