In the thirteen years since we won the cup in 1991 we have had NINE premier opponents in this round. Unbelievable!

We are also scheduled to play at Rugby Park as the first game after the break on Wednesday 29 January (7.45pm KO).

We first met Killie in the cup in 1897 (unless you know otherwise!) when a 3-3 draw at Fir Park was followed by a 5-2 defeat. But in 1933 we got revenge; a 3-3 draw at Kilmarnock was followed by a 8-3 win at Fir Park.

We lost 0-2 at Rugby Park in 1960 and by 0-5 in 1965. We met at Fir Park in 1970 and lost 1-0 in the third round. But we had a truimph at home in 1976 we we beat them 3-0!

In 1988 there was a 0-0 draw at Fir Park in the third round followed by a 3-0 win in the replay.
