Well done to Steve Clark and Kilmarnock, not just for this season but the way they’ve turned it around in the last two seasons.
Very nearly followed us through the trapdoor in 2016 but they’ve been absolutely flying since he took over.
Part of me wants Steve Clark to get the Scotland job in the hope that Killie start faltering again to aid us in the premiership should we get up, but can’t begrudge them of this.

The job Stevie Clarke has done at Kilmarnock is incredible.
Particulary as he has barely signed anyone. It's still by and large the same XI and squad he inherited from Lee Clark.
Think that is the 4th time they've beaten the Rangers at Rugby Park since he took charge. Also defeated Celtic there and took points at both Ibrox and Parkhead.
p.s. first time Killie have finished in the top 3 in Scotland since 1966.
Speaks volumes.

Clarke takes the Scotland job: I'm partly surprised he has accepted, given the abuse he's received up here and him being very outspoken against the SFA. However, he'll be able to spend much more time down south now, where his family is based.
But it reflects Craig Levein taking the Scotland job in a similar situation, and following criticism he aimed at the governing bodies.
It's almost as if a) the SFA want to shut any censure down and b) they don't really like it when the Glasgow twins are threatened by a club who could potentially improve and take trophies from the pair.

Agree with both points.
Could hopefully be a good thing for us if we go up as I doubt Killie will appoint someone of the same calibre.
