Kilmarnock It could have been ten

- Barry Richmond

A five-star performanc­e with five unanswered goals by five different players. While Hamilton were not the same side who recently beat Aberdeen and Hearts, the scoreline flattered them as we could have hit double figures on the day.

That said, the Man of the Match sponsors must have over indulged in hospitalit­y to nominate Youssef Mulumbu, as Rory Mackenzie bossed the whole game and it was a travesty he did not get on the scoresheet. The worrying thing for our opponents must be that two of our best players, Alan Power and Chris Burke, didn’t even start the game.

Steve Clarke got his players and his tactics right on the day and at times it looked like Greg Taylor was on another planet.
