Kilmarnock

Yes, the good news with the international break next month is I think, I'm sure it's only about eight days, so a much more normal break.

But this has felt like it's gone on for... forever and of course his games tonight as well um number of players could be in action this evening so again touch wood um don't think that any of them have picked up any injuries or knocks at this point in time we will hear from Derek McInnes later on in the week as to who is available but um hopefully they all um escape unscathed and they're able to feature against Kilmarnock which can't

come around quick enough really but

uh Yep, well, like yesterday, folks, if you want to get your questions in to myself and Blair, then don't be shy.

And the last time it was worn, was in March 1965.

It was a Scottish Cup quarter-final against Kilmarnock.

In those days, when I was a wee boy going to the games, the home team changed.

So when Celtic were playing Llewelyn or St Mirren, Celtic would wear their away kit.

So I'm from the w- [laughs] Yeah, okay, it's hard to hide a Scottish accent.

I'm from the west coast of Scotland, Kilmarnock.

Okay.

Yes.

could be a lot of... changing interchanging of subs going guys going and helping out other teams I think there could be a few helping other teams well that's part of it if there's injuries picked up guys from other teams can go to help out another team and there will be injuries do you have to have played for that team I don't think so because you I don't know you can I'm coming into this very valuable you're a floater

you know like a possession drill you've just got a pink bib on in the middle just whoever gives you the ball you give it back to them I hated that roll the floater roll in a possession box so what your Celtic mother role St Johnston Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock Dundee Celtic, Motherwell, St. Johnson, Marnock, Dundee, yeah.

Half the tournament's

sewn up.

I feel Rangers over the past few seasons, they get to a certain level, they're going through bad times, then they go on a run, get everything up, fans' expectations are high again.

There's a bit of pressure, there's expectation on them to go and... and capitalise on what the good they've done and I feel they're probably just getting to that point now again under Derek McInnes where there's suddenly expectation on them to come in and go on a little run and overtake Celtic and I think this is where the real test is going to be for the players and Derek McInnes Because we had a bit of a joke earlier about Celtic

doing it I think most clubs did post their fixture today for some reason but it just shows you it depends on your mood and how that's received When you look at the list Callum Kilmarnock at home Dundee away St Johnstone at home in the next three yes Harps away Aberdeen in the cup thereafter I don't know but I mean obviously managers are going to say that every fixture's hard and I get all that but they could be harder that fixture list then is that fair?

Well, it, it, of course, Poncog Yoli was the one who, who got the call.

Could've been somebody else, um, because former Kilmarnock Hibs Uganda and Kenya manager, Bobby Williamson, revealed that he put his name forward to become the next Scotland manager.

Apparently, reports are to be believed, um, Ally McCoist, Scott Brown, and Kevin Thomson had all agreed to be his assistants.

It's, it's a mad story just because, because Bobby Williamson-

[laughs] It's a long shot of application this.

Yeah, and he, and he last managed, which was of course the Kenyan national team, 10 years ago as well.

Um, but he said his record of leading Kilmarnock to a Scottish Cup win and four regional titles with Uganda is, is not a bad career, and perhaps made him worthy.

But he did since admit that he didn't think his application was realistic.

It also reached number two in Australia, number five on the US Billboard Hot 100, and it even claimed the number one spot in not only Canada, but also Iceland, Ireland and West Germany.

The song's full title is actually The Ballroom Blitz and was inspired by a performance at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland early in 1973 when rowdy locals drove the band off stage by means of a bottling.

an act which does very much what it says on the tin.

The addition of a thee to this song title sadly meant the loss of a thee elsewhere, and by the end of the year, the band The Sweet had changed their name to Sweet, a change that would be reflected in all their releases from 1974 onward.

They've kind of had a rough start to the year considering how good they were last year.

yeah two two and three so two wins two draws two losses my second choice Kilmarnock of course um one two and four so

they are not so good well undefeated in their last three

well maybe coming back coming back still in the 12th place position though

And then Hearts equalized later into the match.

So...

I don't know what that says about Kilmarnock.

I think they maybe have figured out or stopped the bleeding of their horrible defense from the beginning of the season, but still struggling to score goals, which is going to be a problem.

direction? The thing is, but they are saying it's definitely a handball rule.

but because the shot they can't determine it deflects off a Kilmarnock player so because it deflects off a Kilmarnock player and

goes in

it means it's not a shot on target but they can't determine if the shot was going in or not before it hit the Kelly player so I think if a Hearts player if any player if I hit a shot after it's hit my hand And you can't decide if that's going in or not.
