Kilmarnock 0-1 Partick Thistle: Zak Rudden's early goal gives visitors win

Zak Rudden's early goal was enough to give Thistle a first win in four

Kilmarnock remain top of the Scottish Championship despite a surprise home defeat at the hands of Partick Thistle.

The Glasgow side, who had recorded three consecutive goalless draws, ended their drought inside three minutes when Zak Rudden latched onto a pass and lobbed Zach Hemming.

Kilmarnock, who had been unbeaten in five, were unable to respond.

However, they remain at the summit after Inverness Caledonian Thistle were held by Ayr United.

Thistle, meanwhile, stay fifth but are now within five points of the leaders in a congested top half of the table.
