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.
