Killie survived and extended their Premiership stay and Taylor passed the acid test to make himself one of the first names on the team sheet and one of their most consistent performers since.

Assistant boss Lee McCulloch took over the reins but an encouraging start was again to mislead the Killie faithful.

In front of a vocal, boisterous crowd of more than 7000 at Rugby Park on Saturday, Killie swept St Mirren aside for their 12th win of the season.

The Killie defence was caught napping as Fleming lined up his free kick from wide on the right.

When the ball came over Britton rose from the middle of a pack of Killie defenders to bullet a header into the net.

Then a piece of magic from McIntyre got Killie back on level terms just before the interval.
