TTA report

Sharp scored the opener with a cross-cum-shot that deceived the keeper (26) but Kilmarnock levelled (40). With Smith limping on the wing in the second half, Kilmarnock hit the post and bar. Ewing had a shot cleared off the line but his majestic header from a Davidson cross (83) sealed things. Off the bottom!
