Kilmarnock 1 St Mirren 1: match report They have successively come from behind to win the Scottish Communities League Cup, drawn with Celtic thanks to a penalty that never was, after being denied two legitimate calls, and on Wednesday night they and Kilmarnock served up a lively and absorbing contest at Rugby Park. Killie, Saints" predecessors as League Cup winners, needed a win to all but secure their place in the top six for the SPL split but, in a first half replete with outstanding chances - theirs were missed by James Fowler and Kris Boyd - the Ayrshire side fell behind to a lancing Esmael Goncalves drive after the striker romped between Mark O'Hara and Momo Sissoko in the 36th minute.
