The Scotsman

Kilmarnock Killie in Philly

- Barry Richmond

We can’t win them all, but we are not far off it! Aberdeen knocked us out of the Scottish in the replay but it took 210 minutes and the lottery of penalties for the second best team in the country to get past us… we are nobody’s mugs.

Someone should have told the bookies that, as the Killie army bashed them and Rangers at the weekend. Unfortunat­ely I had to miss this one, but I did manage to find a bar in Philadelph­ia frequented by exiled Bears to watch the match. I was welcomed with open arms at 10am for a few sherbets; come the end of the game, though, I don’t think I was as popular and made a hasty exit. Swings and roundabout­s… being Killie in Philly on St Patrick’s Day, I didn’t have to buy a drink in any of the many Irish pubs all day!
