Absolutely delighted though, I'm the happiest man on the Emerald Isle tonight. Makes the anguish absolutely worth it after all these years of near misses and abject failures

Happy DVT day 🏆

On this day 14 years ago, Kilmarnock beat Celtic 1-0 at Hampden Park to lift the League Cup thanks to Dieter Van Tornhout's late winner. A special day in our history.

[Duncan McKay @DuncMcKay]

As a result of this, and I take no pleasure reporting this news, we ultimately have to award the 1966 World Cup to West Germany.

[Forever and Ever - The Killie Fans Podcast @FEAE_KilliePod]

Sending our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Jim Fleeting

A hugely important figure in the history of our club. The modern Kilmarnock we all know was forged during his time in charge.

His contribution will never, ever be forgotten.

Safe Travels Jim 💙

@FEAE_KilliePod @oldscotfootball @ScottishFrom I'll need to ask, I'd imagine the club probably still had the trophy

So, about that "crisis" then...

@KillieMatchworn @KilmarnockFC ...despite this, I'm not totally against the idea of having this as the kit. I'd love to see the league do what some ice hockey leagues do and have a retro gameweek. Why not have one-off kits inspired by teams' old kits that can be auctioned off afterwards?

[Andy K @ShandyK_]

@KillieMatchworn @KilmarnockFC No - unless it's as a third/fourth kit. The 1980s were arguably the club's worst ever years whereas stripes to me scream of the optimism of the 60s and the 90s (and yes, I'm aware that we wore hoops for many years before stripes became the norm)...

@paulmont86 Without 4/5 loan signings in the door we're absolutely toast. I said I'd rather lose in normal time than see another half hour of that dross, but it stings going out of the cup in such a manner. I don't see a way back for this team as it is

[Andy K @ShandyK_]

@MarcJWallace I agree - we've got Colin Steven today and he's not much better
