dying seconds to deny Rangers victory and pile the pressure on the Portuguese again.

Caixinha said: “I say to them that they are the most loyal fans in the world. They don’t deserve to pass through this situation.

“As I’ve told you all the time we work for them and I’m more disappoint­ed for them. Because besides being the Rangers manager I’m also a Rangers fan. I’m blue inside.

“When I come to represent one club I represent it with everything that I have to give. With my passion, my knowledge and my work.

“As you see I’m doubly disappoint­ed as I’m a fan and the manager at the same time. But I’m strong enough to take this thing forward and always look to put things into the right place.”

Caixinha had demanded a strong reaction from his side as they looked to get back to winning ways after their Hampden no-show on Sunday.

Killie keeper Jamie MacDonald saved a Daniel Candeais penalty before Steve Clarke’s side broke and Burke hit the equaliser against his former club.

Caixinha said: “We have to analyse the game overall and we asked the boys to show a good reaction. The boys tried to do that, especially in the first half.

“But football is sometimes very cruel. That’s how it was. It’s not every day you win a penalty, miss a penalty and then lose a goal.

“The boys tried, and I am happy with the effort.”
