Killie squandered chances to take all 3 points and lift us further beyond Motherwell, who lost 5-0 to Rangers in the early game. As the table stands we are 3 points ahead of ‘Well who we play away midweek on 11th May. Before then we have Celtic at home next Sunday at the ridiculous ko time of 12:45.
It was an entertaining game that Killie should have won on our possession, but Hearts seemed to get breaks in front of goal that we did not. Killie went ahead in 54 mins through MoM, Fowler whose 20 yard screamer took a slim deflection on the way to goal. Hearts replied 10 mins later with a somewhat lucky goal, another deflection that dropped off the cross bar after eluding Cammy Bell who was perhaps blinded by the sun and allowing poacher Skacel to slide it home. It was a rotten goal to lose just when we were pushing for our second.
Hearts took the lead from a corner when, in typical fashion, our defence pretty much stayed rooted to the ground to allow a free header. Their support started singing now, bare-chested in the sunshine, assuming they had won. But the Killie fight back showed real determination in Kenny Shiels side. Attack after attack broke down but it didn’t dampen the fighting spirit and when Agard scored with a fine back-to-the-goal turning shot from a loose ball on the penalty spot it was deserved. The celebration was as acrobatic, graceful and entertaining as the goal!
Dayton and Agard had chances to score right at the death and the last 5 mins were end to end excitement. Shame we didn’t win, but it was a good show.

the next two home games are against the OF so this was the final real game of the season. We have a chance to deliver body-blows to both Celtic then Rangers in their title hopes. Lets hope we take 3 points from each of them.
