  2. McInnes: 'Plenty of effort from the players but it takes a lot more than effort'published at 21:58 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    FT: Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock manager Derek McInness tells BBC Scotland: “I thought Arbroath got the best of the first half but there wasn't a lot in the game at that point, they didn’t work our goalie much before the interval.

    "These conditions can make it easy for players to abdicate responsibility.

    “We spoke at half-time about how the game could be won by the other team making a mistake and it was. We made a mistake and gave it away, and Zach has been brilliant for me since I came in, but Zach should save it.

    “We’re disappointed we haven't given our fans something.

    “Plenty of effort from the players but it takes a lot more than effort.“

    FT: Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Arbroath manager Dick Campbell tells BBC Scotland: “Tonight is up there for me. It was never going to be a classic in these conditions, at this time of year

    “My players couldn’t have given me any more than they did.

    “Derek will be angry about one or two decisions, as was I about a few.

    “I’m very, very happy. We’re eight points clear from 4th form the top is how I look at it. We’ll be looking at the playoffs now I’d imagine.

    “Kilmarnock showed in spells tonight that they’re going to get better, so we won’t be counting our chickens."

    We're into six minutes of injury time!

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock win a corner after a sustained period of possession.

    Declan Glass has a shot from the edge of the box ultimately saved, though.

  10. RED CARD Craigen (Arbroath)published at 21:27 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    James Craigen dives into a 50/50 on the edge of the box with Kilmarnock's Rory McKenzie.

    The Arbroath man does win the ball initially, but his studs are up and catches his opponent rashly on the follow through.

  11. Postpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Big 10 minutes for both sides as the game draws towards a conclusion.

    A Killie goal would change the complexion of this one entirely, but Arbroath have been just as threatening since they took the lead.

  12. Postpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Killie's defence gets all mixed up at the back and Luke Donnelly pounces. His left-footed strike from inside the box flies wide, though.

    Moments later, Scott Stewart fires a ball across goal that bounces off of Jack Hamilton in the end after some pinball in the box. The linesman doesn't know much about it and ultimately gives a corner...

  13. CLOSE!published at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Killie are knocking on the door now.

    Fraser Murray flashes in another ball and Rory McKenzie's shot rebounds off of Derek Gaston to the feet of Kyle Lafferty.

    The striker reacts well to hit it, but his snapshot whistles past the post.

    Fraser Murray gets to the byline and flashes a cross past Arbroath's goal.

    Kyle Lafferty narrowly misses the ball from close-range with his head.

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    A Kilmarnock corner sits up kindly for debutant Dean Campbell right on the edge of the box.

    His wry smile in the aftermath of the shot tells the story as he hooks it wide, by quite a bit.

  20. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2022

    Arbroath 1-0 Kilmarnock

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC Scotland

    Killie appeal for a penalty after Rory McKenzie's cross appears to strike an arm.

    Replays show it probably should have been a spot-kick too.

    Quote Message

    It's a penalty. The defender makes himself to block it and the laws state that's a penalty
