Ex-Hibs-and-Cowdenbeath manager, Mixu Paatelainen has been appointed Killie manager on a 2 year deal.
Taking on a club with 14 players on the books, £11m of debt and a board of one – and being reportedly at least 3rd choice for the job- you have to conclude that only a madman would have accepted this position.
Welcome, Mixu. It’s difficult for us fans to see what you or any manager can do for us given the challenges the club faces, but be comforted by the thought that you cannot be as bereft of ideas as the previous two incumbents.
There’s no secret that we would probably have preferred Gus because he was a great favourite down this way, but it wasn’t to be and I’d like to wish you all the best in the job and every success with Killie.

- Killie 6 v Airdire Utd 2, Wed 25th Aug 2010, CIS cup
Garry Hay doesn't play = Killie lose. Hooky plays = Killie win. The superlative ex-fullback was playmaker in the centre of midfield, only switching to left mid when Silva was replaced by Fowler midway through the second half. Hooky was influential and had a fine game, only bested by MoM Conor Sammon who scored a... - Remember – first home game is on SUNDAY at 3pm against Motherwell
Our first home game is moved to Sunday 22nd August for a 3 o'clock kick off. By all accounts we played fairly well at Ibrox, losing by the narrow margin 2-1. If Danny had managed to connect with our clearest chance then we would have gained a point. The highlights as usual show Rangers having...

- Who will be the next Killie manager?
Do we want this man to be Killie manager next season?
More importantly, does Michael Johnston want him?
I suspect like many considerations it will come down to money.
Calderwood has an out. He can insist that the club make funds available for players. He has expressed such a desire already, but we must suspect what really lies... - videos from The Great Escape

... - Nervous tonight? You should be! Tomorrow is the ultimate reckoning. Can Killie survive?
The final game of the season and Killie are 2 points from the bottom. Falkirk are propping up the SPL and we face them tomorrow at Rugby Park in what looks certain to be Kyle's (and probably several others') last game for us. As long as we don't lose we will be safe. If we... - Killie WIN 2-1 at Pittodrie, setting up a final game decider
After a poor first half ending 1-0 down, Killie pulled it back in the second half through Kelly and Kyle.
A different team in the 2nd half saw Killie create a bundle of chances which were squandered, then Kelly scored to level it, then super sub Owens crossed for Kyle yo bullet home the winner. Killie...
