    Kilmarnock 0-1 Arbroath

    Killie just can't get going in front of this big Rugby Park crowd.

    The game is breaking up and slowing down in the away side's favour.

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Arbroath

    Better from Killie as Brad Lyons has two crosses cleared from the near post.

    It wins the hosts a corner but the away side deal with it.

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Arbroath

    That goal has sucked the life out the home support.

    All the noise is coming from the travelling fans behind Derek Gaston's goal.

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Arbroath

    Killie wanted a foul in the lead up to that Arbroath opener.

    The home side were screaming for a free-kick for a sliding challenge by Chris Hamilton on Brad Lyons on the edge of the visitors' box.

    John Beaton had a great view of it but waved play on.

    Wow! What a run from Scott Stewart and what a cool finish from Craigen. Unbelievable start from Arbroath.

    GOAL! Kilmarnock 0-1 Arbroathpublished at 9 mins

    James Craigen

    First blood Arbroath!

    The visitors break forward in scintillating fashion as Scott Stewart plays a lovely one-two with Luke Donnelly before rolling the ball across goal.

    And James Craigen is there to scuff a finish into the far corner. What a move.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 8 mins

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Arbroath

    Big, big save from Derek Gaston.

    Fraser Murray gets to the byeline again and his low ball is struck towards goal by Kyle Lafferty.

    But the Arbroath keeper gets a huge foot to the effort.

    Killie hack away the corner at the second attempt and look to counter but Arbroath hold firm as Fraser Murray's cross is dealt with.

    The visitors can be very satisfied with their first few minutes.

    Any fears about nerves for Dick Campbell's men look non-existent as they win another corner.

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Arbroath

    Good start from Arbroath who win an early corner through a deflected strike from Nicky Low.

    In the corner comes and Zach Hemming punches it away unconvincingly.

    A second cross comes into the box and again Hemming is all over the place but the ball goes out for a goal kick.

    The players are out to a huge roar from the 11,000-strong crowd.

    What a noise!

    I would love to see it go to that final day. 'Helicopter Friday' - I don't think we've had one yet in Scottish football! The fairytale of Arbroath has kept everyone in it this season and it's been brilliant to see.

    Kilmarnock have got the quality of player to do it. Kyle Lafferty is a match-winner for me. He's the guy they'll be looking at to turn up, turn the heat on and produce his best performance. They do not want this going into next week.

  17. Killie aim to bounce back at first attemptpublished at 19:37 British Summer Time 22 April 2022

    Kilmarnock v Arbroath (19:45)

    The romance around Arbroath's push for the top flight has almost overshadowed the importance of this for Killie.

    The Ayrshire club will be portrayed as the pantomime villains tonight, but it's absolutely imperative Derek McInnes guides his side back to the Premiership at the first attempt.

    It hasn't been as straightforward a season as most expected for the Rugby Park outfit, but they will hope victory tonight will bring an end to a difficult year for the club after relegation last term.

  18. Why's everyone behind Arbroath?published at 19:33 British Summer Time 22 April 2022

    Kilmarnock v Arbroath (19:45)

    To give some context as to why there's an Arbroath supporters club in every part of the globe this season, it's simply down to the nature of their story.

    When Dick Campbell took charge at Gayfield in March 2016, the Angus side were second-bottom of Scotland's fourth tier.

    Six years and two promotions later, the Championship's only part-time club are two wins away from the Premiership.

    It really is fairytale stuff, orchestrated by one of the most loved men in the Scottish game.

    Killie fans, you might have sold out your home allocation but it looks like the entire football world is against you.

    That just makes things sweeter if your side does the business tonight, doesn't it?
