Victory Stuns Champions: Proathlete Claims Resounding Triumph
[BBC] Our Achilles heel all season has been our tendency to lose soft goals so it was refreshing to see a solid defensive display against the league leaders. I actually predicted a 1-0 Killie win in last week's column , however, that was more in hope than expectation. It was an outstanding all-round performance with every player showing what it means to pull on the famous stripes.
Special mention must go to man of the match Aaron Tshibola, who put in a superb shift and the big man could be vital in our remaining games. Greg Kiltie has been hugely improved under Neil McCann and is once again showing the kind of quality we always knew he had. The manager has brought a positivity to the whole place and it would be good to see more fans turn up this week as we face a massive game at home to basement club Livingston.
Another win would probably consign them to the Championship and we would drag other clubs into the play-off battle. Finally, we were saddened to hear former manager Jim Fleeting has died after a long illness. Jim was our manager at the rebirth of the club and made some huge signings that helped us climb back up the leagues.
Condolences to Bobby, Mary and all the family. Sandy Armour is editor of The Killie Hippo fanzine
