Match Report

TTA report

4th bottom Kilmarnock went 7 points clear of Thistle and just about deserved the win. They should have had it sewn up by half-time but it took a dubious pen (5, hand ball) to win it. A better second half and late pressure by Thistle saw them denied a pen when Smith was pulled down by the keeper as he rounded him (72).

Media report

Sam Phillips, 11-Feb-1996, Scotland on Sunday

A TOM BLACK penalty was enough to give Kilmarnock the victory which practically guarantees Premier League football at Rugby Park next season although, in the end, they had to hang on grimly for the three points which they should have secured long before half-time. However, a combination of sloppy finishing and an inexplicable decision to camp in their own half after the interval meant that the nerve-ends of the Ayrshire side's supporters were truly jangles. Thistle, meanwhile, remain down among the dead men. They might have known their luck was out even before the kick-off when Steve Pittman, having won his appeal to have his suspension held in abeyance, failed a fitness test.
