Killie were not that good but Dunfermline were a lot worse. Both teams had about six chances each, Kilmarnock converted three of theirs but the Pars failed to score and still rest at the bottom of the league.
Andy Tod who was handed a role in centre midfield, had an early chance when he got on the end of an Andy Smith cross and Smithy had a chance of his own before Ian DURRANT placed a 25 yard effort on the underside of the crossbar to open the scoring after 32 minutes.
Half time: Dunfermline 0 Kilmarnock 1
The lack of control in midfield cost Dunfermline this game as Killie`s Mark Reilly, a player who couldn`t game a game for Reading, displayed his authority. Ian DURRANT was enjoying the space and certainly was given plenty of it when he was allowed to slot in number two 11 minutes into the second half.
Tod hit the woodwork with a header from a Gavin Johnson corner in 62nd minute but Gary HOLT was the next to hit goal when he waltzed through the defence to hit a weak shot at goal which was enough to beat Lee Butler with 13 minutes remaining.
Next week it`s Rangers, Bert crawled on his hands and knees into a press conference there before!
