Honeymoon Over for boss as Killie claim comeback win

Critchley gets a sore bottom

HEARTS honoured their war heroes ahead of kick off on Tynecastle's Remembrance fixture.

But when it came to the football Kilmarnock ensured it was a night to forget for the Jambos as they slid back to the bottom of the table after being leapfrogged by Hibs.

Arousing second half fightback from the Ayrshiremen saw Matty Kennedy's half volley cancel out Alan Forrest's opener before powerhouse skipper Kyle Vassell bundled home the winner.

It moves Derek McInnes; side into the top six and incredibly it's now seven wins on their last 11 visits to Gorgie for Killie-with Hearts winning only one of those.

It brings an abrupt end to Neil Critchley's honeymoon period at Tynecastle as the Englishman suffered his first defeat in his fourth game.

And after witnessing his backline being bullied at both goals by Killie's frontline he must know he has serious problems to fix.

imageNot only that but 70 per cent possession and 18 shots only brought one goal.
