Match Report

TTA report

Pittman headed off the line (2). Chances came and went at both ends in an entertaining first half. Gibson inadvertently stopped a goal-bound header by Jamieson on the line (16). After half-time Kilmarnock took their chances (mishit cross and kneed in, 57 and with more than a hint of a foul in the build-up, 64).

Media report

23-Oct-1994, Sunday Times

SCOTTISH league rules do not permit clubs to field two different sides in the same game yet that’s what appeared to have happened at Rugby Park yesterday. Kilmarnock’s composed, polished display after the interval bore no relation to the stumbling ineptitude which had gone before and it was enough to give them their second win of the season. Early on Thistle denied themselves a goal when Jamieson’s near post header from Cameron’s corner beat Meldrum but hit Jags striker Gibson on the back and rebounded to safety. The luckless Gibson seeking his first goal since his move from Aberdeen last year, passed up a glorious opportunity to break his duck eight minutes later, firing wide from six yards after forceful play from Smith had created the opening. As the game opened out, Thistle gained the upper hand. English glanced a header wide from McDonald’s cross and McDonald himself was inches away from converting Smith’s pass.

The home side kept plugging away and it took a stunning one handed save from Nelson to keep out Henry’s point blank drive. That persistence paid off in the 56th minute when McKee, signed from Manchester United last month, opened his account, by diverting Brown’s driven cross beyond Nelson with his thigh. Their confidence restored, Kilmarnock scored a superb second eight minutes later. Brown dummied Black’s pass and left Watson for dead before curling the ball into Nelson’s left hand corner from 15 yards.
