TUTANKHAMUN – 7.5/10 MOTM – Ping! Here we go! Again, the rejuvenated Tunisian Mikey J begins to justify his initial hype with a match-winning rescue from the bench. The wing-wizardry’s getting enhanced with some end-product and today that kick-started our comeback of the season right on cue for a title surge. Whether he’s a bench-warmer with a trick or two or a starter with firepower to blitz games our way early, it’s an argument for buses and pubs. But, either way, we need him to produce consistently and utilise that for glory.

NEVILLE – 5.5/10 – Can The Ox do it again? Ach, damn, no… And with his half-clipped strike in the embers of the game it seemed we’d lost hope of salvation. But still a useful, sane and experienced quality heid to nurture to full match fitness and unleash in the run-in.

JAMESY – 6/10 – They hate Jamesy in Killie and that’s because it’s only a ten-minute jaunt from Prestwick, which he’s undertaken many a time to *cough* ‘educate their burds in the ancient art of the kanma sutra’, so to speak…Somehow recovering from his annual Valetine’s Day marathon, Jamesy bravely declared to MON he had one last action left in him this weekend. And with his cameo again came urgency and more sprightly attacking play that had Killie strung-out and leggy. If anyone can inspire these bhoys to another title it’s the Ron Jeremy of Scottish football. As opposed to ‘the Peter Sutcliffe’, that epithet belonging to Al Mac..

CARAVAN – 6.5/10 – He’s a big whiny lugger who’s going to get a slap from a team-mate someday, but until then there’s a particular asset of his that’s helped win the match – the unusual touch and acceleration possessed by such a lanky frame, to take down the throw and create space for the cutback was pure quality and the difference-maker. ‘Mon the fat Peter Crouch.
