Match Report

TTA report

Thistle went 1-up when McWilliams cashed in on a goalkeeping howler at a pass-back (1) and they were the better team for about half an hour. McWilliams hit the bar (27) then Kilmarnock gradually took control. A header at the back post (30) and a ball behind the defence (65) turned it round. Poor defending cost the points.

Media report

David Leggat, 18-Dec-1995, Scotland on Sunday

An inauspicious beginning is often the harbinger of even more sorrowful times on the horizon and that is the way it looked for Kilmarnock when they fell behind in the game’s 64th second. The way they conceded the goal was well in tune with the pantomime season. Jim Lauchlan, playing in his first game of the season, knocked a short passback to his keeper. However, Drago Lekovic looked uncomfortable as he tried to make a short clearance towards Neil Whitworth. The ball was swiftly intercepted by Derek McWilliams who then steered a shot beyond Lekovic and into the net. It took Kilmarnock some time to recover from that early debacle and before they did it was Thistle, with obvious confidence, who played some neat passing football.
